    When I had my dealer repaint the front bumper cover on my 360 Spider, Expel Ultimate was applied after 5 days. While I did not need to remove the PPF I never noticed any problems with the film or paint while I owned the vehicle.

    OTOH, I had paint work done on my 430 and the most respected hi end paint shop here in Austin said wait 90 days. They even have 90 days mentioned in their after paint work care brochure.

    Agreed...100%....received the same feedback from Ferrari Houston. This was on bumper touch which is different that metal however 60-90 days is a good timeframe. That was echoed by the installer who did my film as well.
