Yes, the self adhesive strips need to go on bare clean paint for maximum adhesion. My hood protector (the one without the deflector lip) came with instructions stating to clean with provided alcohol wipes (I think is what they were) to remove wax etc.
I had a deflector on my 2004 Ranger, already on it when I bought it used. It was screwed on and I removed it. I was hoping this one would also screw on but I guess that's old school. I'll be following the directions as soon I can get my truck in the garage, which won't be soon enough.
My pickup socially distances itself from other vehicles in the shopping center parking lot.
I'm going with this.

Got my mud guards so that wouldn't slow my build. Same with this. Happy hunting. Hope this helps.
Shay! an update please. Looked at PPF for the first time and the Lamin-X is pre shape but not as good as the XPEL-Ultimate. Was it really easy and can you post descriptions. Priced a really highly recommended play 30 miles away, but the price was $925 for standard and would work with me. But sh-t can save at least $600 if the stuff goes on well and pay someone good $200 to cut and install it. Seems for that price 1 roll would cover the front of the hood and bumper. A second roll for the front bumper with lots left over.
I think there might be some truth to this…..I added a bug deflector last week and my hood seems to shake a lot more. Crazy, I never thought about until I read this thread.Already have the hood shake, sowhy not
