It's going back for the bonnet to be done next week. £175... sunteck seems the best choice, seems to give a better gloss with the film on.

I've blasted mine close but never had that problem - perhaps because I have the 3m and it's thicker (and the consequential slight loss of gloss that goes with it is the downside).

Sorry to see it mate - but proof that under there is mint paint. Done it's job 10x over!

I have suntek on the bonnet (almost flat surface) which has a better gloss and better healing, then 3m on the bumper as it apparently works better on detailed & countoured panels.

Not had any problems with mine yet but my jet wash is bottom of the range and I don't have the lance on full power when doing the front end.
