Xpel Ultimate ppf /// Winter conditions

Hi guys,
I'm still hesitating doing a ppf wrap with Xpel Ultimate and have any questions about (sorry if already in other threads)

Do anybody knows how the Xpel will react during winter conditions.
I'm thinking especially about the salty roads, gravels and low temperatures...

I would appreciate any Feedback of your personal experiences!

Is the Xpel the better suited product for our car? What about 3M Scotchgard Pro? Anybody tried the 3M product out here?

Xpel is the best product for those conditions. The self-healing clear coat recovers well from ice/snow impact and in my experience the film is completely resistant to corrosion from salt. The 3M product is fine- but of the two, I think you'll find XPel to generally be the more favorably reviewed.

Thanks for your comments guys.
What do you think about the pre-cut patterns that will be used.
Is it really an advantage of XPEL system when it comes to installation and knife-less Technology???

I prefer bulk and a skilled installer - you'll have less seams. They shouldn't use a blade either way.

You'll be happy with either.
