3M 2080 G12 GLOSS BLACK 1ft x 1ft (1 Sq/ft) Car Wrap Vinyl Film

I waited a little before doing the review to see how it does in this temperamental texas weather and it's holding up great. Hasn't faded, cracked or lose its adhesion. Great for chrome delete

I am in the process of renovating my kitchen, and decided that black or mostly black appliances would look better. However, I didn't want to replace perfectly good appliances, including my large french-door style refigerator that is less than 2 years old. I did some investigating to determine the best method, for me, to incorporate the changes I wanted. My stove is already white with a lot of black on it (the ceramic cook top and the oven door) so I decided to purchase a vinyl wrap to cover the sides and parts of the front of my refrigerator, and most of the front of my dishwasher (whichi is not metal, so couldn't use a magnetic cover).I ordered this glossy vinyl, and am VERY happy with the result. It is easy to apply and reposition. And, when I struggled with the panel I cut for the front of the freezer drawer, with a good amount of air bubbles, I was pleasantly surprised that simply using a dish rag to aggressively rub the bubbled areas caused them all to disappear without any smudging. I was also happy that the original texure of the sides of the refridgerator came through after applying the vinyl, and zero issues with magnets continuing to stick to it. Overall, I am extremely happy with this product, ease of use, finish and end result I was able to achieve in just about 90 minutes (including measuring and cutting each piece)

Very easy to use especially if you have some experience. Looks good overall, material finish has slight orange peel up close. But that’s just 3m wrapCons:the tape that holds the roll together rips off the clear protective film on the wrap when you take the tape off. They just need rubber bands on the rollsHad slight creases from being bent but came out with some heat.Would recommend

Scratches really easy, don’t touch it or grip it with your finger nails and or hit something sharp. I like the quality but it’s delicate.

Ok a little backstory first... I have a 8th gen Honda Civic.And for those that are familiar with them, that's probably all I have to say. But for everyone else who doesn't know, these cars are notorious for the clear coat failing on the roof. After years of thinking that I dodged that bullet it finally started to fail on my car too. So since I could not afford to repaint my car I figured a vinyl roof wrap would be the next best thing.And long story short this stuff is amazing.For someone who has never done anything like this before, and with no more training than watching a couple of YouTube videos on the subject I actually managed to end up with a very passible final product. This vinyl ended up being very forgiving to work with which definitely saved me as I absolutely screwed up my first couple of attempts to install it. However at the end of the day after much sweating and cursing it actually turned out great. I'm sure a professional could have done it in a fraction of the time and it would have come out absolutely perfect, but for my needs I couldn't be happier with the final product. I would not hesitate to buy this vinyl again for future projects. It is by far a superior product and worth every penny.***Update***Roughly three years later and the vinyl on the roof of my car was starting to show some wear. Then I recently made the mistake of trying to wax it, which almost immediately made it look drastically worse. Still even going into this I knew it I knew the vinyl was a temporary solution, so I find it hard to complain. Also for what it's worth I also wrapped the chrome grill on my car shortly after I did the roof, and that part is still looking perfect. So even though I have heard that you can apply wax to the vinyl, apparently it might damage it or at least leave a nasty looking residue.

Terrible product unless you have a small area or very flat surface. I’ve worked with vinyl for signs, and expected something similar, but this product is very thin and creases very easily. I tried to wrap the hood of my vehicle, and ended up having to pull it off and trash it.

Tips after solo installation:- Invest in good tools it wont be the last thing you wrap- A quality blow dryer can suffice for heat gun with 1080 because it's thin. I still used a heat gun, but tested both- HEAT BEFORE WRAPPING CORNERS, watch for tension points and lay wrap to avoid excess tension- Post-heat after application to make sure it's not going to finger and relax in place- CK Wraps on YT is an incredibly valuable resource to watchI was able to wrap my roof and my front grille without any issues with my first order of 5x10feet. I did this alone and all I can say is invest in the tools. I used some cheapo kit and didn't use knifeless tape the first time. Using good tools will make this job 100% more enjoyable and a better outcome.I re-purchased more wrap to re-do the roof now that I have knifeless tape. My car doesn't have drip sills in the roof to hide the wrap seam, so the cut has to be absolutely perfect. The first time I free handed it. Needless to say I'm no surgeon so I'll re-do.

Product is fine, I’ve used it many times but this seller needs to rethink their packaging. This roll of vinyl shipped with thin plastic and that’s it. Both ends were smashed and the entire outer layer was scuffed rendering much of the roll unusable. (Pics are how it arrived from shipper, no box or tube) Returned.
