Where did you order the Llumar select black Fl5 precut set from?

Very nice! My gloss black trim pieces, especially those on the pillars were scratched up from day 1. My detailer put Xpel black PPF on them and it looks great.

Ditto. B & C Pillars, and sideskirts as part of rocker panel coverage except I opted for XPEL Ultimate Plus.

If you go to llumar.com you can use a dealer locator to find a dealer near you.
I was afraid of that. Contacted 3 dealers with no response. Was hoping I could order from somewhere or get a Llumar dealer to sell me one.

What area are you from? I might be able to help you out.

Not a scratch, but does anyone have any ideas for how to remedy a small chip in gloss black? I figured nail polish then clear coat, but there may be better solutions.
