Yeah, get someone who knows what they're doing. :) The first time I had=20
mine done, the guy had a similar experience.
The second time, I didn't have a mobile installation done, but instead went=
=20
to a SafeLite auto glass place, and they had it done in 15 minutes.

Absolutely not -- I've been using it since 1994 -- on every car I've=20
had. Just use some elbow grease when you're applying it to get rid of the=
=20
haze, and it's awesome. I use it on all the glass as well as the mirrors,=
=20
headlights and taillights (to stop snow from sticking). It's a great=
product.
