Re: [MBZ] Tru-coat and a month's warranty

Those films are junk. They last maybe 5 years then begin to degrade. There are massive cracks that appear, dirt gets in, the paint ends up junked. I am not sure how the films get removed. Maybe a heat gun? clay > On Mar 23, 2017, at 8:47 AM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes >
