So, I finally had a chance to get DYNOflex installed. Short story? It's AWESOME. It feels like PPF, and goes on much like PPF. The forming process is ridiculously easy - granted, the windshields on Huracans are more or less flat, so there weren't many fingers to "iron out", but wow. NO heat gun required, at all - not even close. I just squeegeed to the edge, trimmed the edge with the recommended blade, and....done.
The clarity is MUCH better than ClearPlex - zero haze, and only a very, very slight waviness, in places. The hydrophobic properties are excellent. I was going to apply a ceramic coating on it, but I think the built-in ceramic layer is sufficient.
Downsides? It tears easily. I was moving it around on the slip solution to reduce the fingers, gripped an edge, and it tore about an inch straight towards the centre of the film. I almost
[email protected] myself, but was able to shift the film over, so the tear was just off of the windshield, and I could trim it off the affected side. It is much softer and more pliable than ClearPlex, which is great for forming, but when you are squeegeeing, you have to have a LOT of slip solution underneath, or you risk pushing up a little crinkle in the film. It feels much softer than ClearPlex, so I don't know if that is a good or bad thing, with regards to longevity? The way I look at it, it doesn't have to last long. It's so easy to apply, I'll just do it once a year, if needed.
Once I had the film on the windshield, it was literally ten minutes - squeegee, trim the edge with a blade, squeegee the edges again, and.... done like dinner.
100% recommend it. I think even if you don't install it yourself, it is a superior product than ClearPlex - time will tell if it lasts as long.
If you are vacillating about having it done, just do it. Once installed, it is very difficult to tell it's there (and I am SUPER anal retentive about even the tiniest of flaws).
Have a great week, everyone.
