How is the shrinkage &amp; U.V protection on this. I want to apply it to a rear panel on my black vehicle. It gets 4 hours direct sunlight per day.

Had them for a year on my rear view mirror panels, car was usually parked outside in socal, didnt notice any changes in a year... wraped interior as well, no warping from constant arm/hand rubs on it. Pretty good product but hard to apply, not one person job, even for small details

I would think sun protection shouldn't be a problem as long as you take precautions to prevent the interior from overheating. Ie leave the windows open a small gap.personally I'd still park it in a spot where you have shade during a few hours of the day . But back to the cover, its absolutely fantastic, very well made.

I have it in my 2006 FLHRCI and I put it in full strength as directed. It helps immensely if you let it heat up in the sun for a couple of hours and even then it will take a while for it to run out of the bottle. Its an awesome product though (IMO). Quieted down my gear whine and made finding neutral easy from either direction......Just make sure everything is nice and warm when draining and refilling.

You can cut it, but the problem with that it becomes a bit too small to cover the window. I used it to cover my rear window in a Toyota Rav4 and it covered well but there were still areas that were uncovered that the sun came through. Just a suggestion, go to an automotive store that has tints for windows, it's just as easy to get them on, they come in a variety of shades and you get a better fit. Good luck.

I would recommend using SPF 30 or higher. I feel compelled to tell you there is still a great chance you will still get darker. I used SPF 70, waited 15-20 minutes after rubbing in my skin. I wasn't in direct sunlight over 30 minutes, yet my arms are 4 shades darker!!!! Just make your sunscreen offers UVA & UVB. UVA helps prevent darkening of the skin.

Can I be honest.... Yes it will protect your trailer from UV, but the UV will destroy the cover. Living here in the California Central Coast we have a mild climate with lots of sunshine. I can expect to get about 2 years service out of this cover before it has to be replaced. I'm ok with that - because I want my trailer to last and look sharp. Keep your trailer clean - waxed - covered and it will give you years of enjoyment. Replacing the cover every few years is worth saving my investment. Enjoy - camp on!

I've put mine on a HMMWV ("Humvee") during the summer sun in Yakima, WA for the whole day. Obviously shade the device you are charging but the panels should be fine.

Yes I would recommend their products make sure it is from an approved dealer or go directly to them or they will not honor their one year warranty,I use their panels everyday for almost two years it will take away pain and help your skin.

I installed mine in April and the parts that were most exposed to the sun disintegrated by October. It also ripped during a storm. This is in Texas where I should have probably gone with just a shade cloth. You could get away with using this on the areas that are not taking a lot of direct sunlight like the side walls. And then put a nicer film over the roof.

I use it on my dashboard but rarely have my car parked in prolonged sunlight as I park in a covered parking garage. The Texas heat has not had any affect on it though.

I normally use it in shade on a cool car. In the sun you need to use more muscle power to polish it up. But I have used in sun and the results were good

I would recommend this product on any exterior item you wish to protect. I used this on my 2013 vehicle this past July and it still appears to have a protective appearance. Easy to apply and take off, just have to leave on at least 15-25 minutes before removing.

I only applied it on painted metal surfaces, I have no idea if it will stick on rubber, is a different material and personally I don't think this was the original intention. I would rather apply it on glass (like fog lights or even headlights) but rubber? As for application of heat to shrink, it was necessary for the painted metal application as it's quite flexible. For the paint I can tell you that I applied it one year ago and is still looking like the first day, invisible already from 2-3 feet away.

Talked to Speed-Way before I brought mine, as, in Arizona, the sun rots everything pretty quickly - The warranty on the cover is One Year.. It's not going to guarantee against fading, just tears and rips due to weather damage - that kind of thing... I have had mine for just about a year and my cover has also faded really bad, but it still looks pretty good and it does what I am paying it to do.. Keep my bike looking new by protecting it from weather damage. When I contacted the company before I made my purchase, I asked how much a replacement cover would cost - I was told $135.00 for the large (a year ago), which is not bad, considering my boat is costing me $680.00 each year to store and cover. As I see it.. If I can cover and protect my $20,000.00+ bike for $135.00 per year.. That's not bad. Nothing lasts forever, but this shelter is holding up for me really well.. For the fact that you can buy replacement covers "relatively" inexpensively, and the covers are warranted for a year was the only reason I brought this..

I left mine out in the sunlight (natural light contains uv) for about 10 minutes and it was fine. If you are talking about AFTER you apply it. I had a faulty package that was rubber before I ever applied it, that is no bueno!

this window film is applied on the interior of your windows, you probably be able to apply it to the exterior but anyone could take it off. IT IS SO WORTH it to get this for keeping out the hot sun light, and YOU ALSO GET THE PRIVACY TOO. I can see out, but no one can see in. when the lights are on in the evening, when you are outdoors, you can only see the light on, you can NOT see anyone or anything inside the room. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS WONDERFUL PRODUCT.

I would not recommend applying any wax in full sun on a hot day. 3M is the best spay wax I have ever used, & I use it in a shaded area.
