Avery Nano Fusion install

[Digitalwok]

I just want to tell everyone who is looking for paint protection that Avery Nano Fusion is awesome and I think it will change the PPF market. The only downsides are that there is no 60" at this time and trying to find an official installer is next to to impossible.

After reading all the positive reviews by both owners and installers I decided that I definitely wanted to give Nano Fusion a try. The the 2 negatives are that its a fairly new product (compared to others) and unknown by most installers.

I currently have ventureshield on my white Q7 and its just ok. In hindsight, I would not get this again for a white car as you can definitely see it. From my perspective there were really no downsides to using the Avery as i couldn't be worst than Ventureshield.

I decided to get the product on my own and find an installer willing to work with an unknown product. I called around to my local Philadelphia PPF installers and I was surprised that none wanted my business and in some cases met with hostility for bringing up the topic of different product.

Ryan from CarOptics had a completely different attitude and was great to work with. Not only was he will to install it but quite enthusiastic about it. They are primarily ventureshield shop but not yet exclusive to the product. before I go further I just wanted to say that Ryan and his team did an awesome job with the install! In fact, they do not like pre-cuts citing the fit is better when done on site....old school which I like. Attached are some pics

What I like about the Avery product is that its hard and smooth to the touch just like paint. What Ryan like is that its much easier to cut and lay compared to other products. I tried to take pics in angles that you can tell but its really hard to see it even though just the quarter of the hood is done. When the 60" is available I will redo the hood and fenders.

Final note, I car already had paint chips on the hood and fenders as this was a used car. So any marks that you see are from existing chips which after 5+ years I am planning to replace the hood and bumper.

It is possible to get "test" rolls of 60in AD nano fusion. I have my entire hood done in this stuff and I love it! The gloss is amazing and it just fits so much better then anything else. My detailer was able to get a test batch of 60in and he used it on my car.

Great write-up. and great choice with the IB e92! My car is being shipped right now and the first stop is a local installer who will be apply the Avery product (I hadn't heard of it until he said it was the best). This makes me feel better about the choice. Thanks

I wish that i could get the 60". I spoke with a master distributor and they she told me that its not available yet...I find that sometimes I get the party line but such is life. I asked to be put on the notify list as it will sell like hot cakes.

That's a nice install. The new 3M stuff is pretty nice too, I took my buddy over to my guy Francisco at Aerotect and got it on his Sparkling Graphite M3.

However, having seen the 3M, the Avery and the Ventureshield, I think I still prefer the ventureshield as it has the least texture out of the 3, and if properly maintained, it will always look great.

Here is my VS on my M3.

Nice pics. Certainly looks very clear and flat. Did you ask the installer how it looks over time, ie: does it yellow? On white cars most films tend to yellow over time from what I've seen - yeah, even Ventureshield. I've thought about having my CB redone with Nanofusion but I haven't been able to get a solid answer on if it yellows over time.

Its almost been 1 year now and I am happy to report that it looks as new as when it was installed. If you look really close you can see the faint line that is the sheild. I will upgrade to fill hood and fendors soon.

I actually have not been maintaining it all that much. 1 hand wash and wax/2 month and no-touch autowash as needed. The film buffs to a shine just like the paint.

Are you sure you seen the right AD fusion product? There is absolutely no texture to the film. Its does not have that soft feeling as my VS film on the Q7 instead it feels hard and smooth to the touch even when you poke at it with you fingernails.

Looks good.
