We have been doing wraps for a couple of years now..been in the business for over 21 years, just to far from you I'm sure, but to respond to some of the other replys, you will never have a totally bubble free install, but most will be small and un-noticable, but not sure how the one is that was complaining about it, but certain area's where you have to go over irregular areas is where problems can come up, also depends on how much it was needed to strech it into place, as sometimes it will pull back over time and cause bubbles/pockets, try heating and the pin trick to releive the trapped air. another factor is what has been imbedded into the fiberglass over the years....anything will silocones will come back with heat and can cause problems...no matter how much you clean and treat the surface...Rob

Not sure if I'll make it this year. Just bought a house in Fl and been trying to get my TN home ready to sell. If I go to any Pr it'll be Tn. River Rally in Loudon. Great event. May still try for KY, but depends on how much work I get sone here. Ken
