Just an FYI in regards to our Ventureshield performance.
Shortly after install we smacked some really large bugs that turned into large yellow blobs at "high velocity"....
W/ my exposure to 3M clears in the past which I was VERY unsatisfied w/, the latest & best Ventureshield product was found to be FAR superior in appearance.
However, during a wash a few days later we found that the yellow (not the red, black, or that psychedelic purple (hippy bug?)) bug juices stained the clear quite considerably. Bright frickin' yellow to boot just as if someone poured highlighter ink on our hood, fake brake scoop & both mirrors....
'Course the biggest contributing factor to the noticeability of theses stains is our car is white.
So we contacted the distributor who checked w/ Venture direct who said it shouldn't happen & if there is a small discoloration, that it will oxidize out.
It's been approx. 2-1/2 mos since & I can attest that the stains have reduced considerably.
We have agreed w/ the dealer that if the situation has not rectified itself by the spring it will be replaced in those areas.
Of further note when it was first discovered I used some Novus 2 & 1 on one smaller stain w/ no resulting change.
Will update as this progresses, possibly in the spring, but just wanted to give a heads-up to other owners of said product.:thumbsup
