LMFAO

a cheap substitute for what ? wurth ????
are you one of the damb a$$es that think wurth makes any of there own products ????
lets hope your not that dam dumb !
wurth is nothing more the a CO that buys other peoples products and has them packaged in the wurth label .

is it a cheap substitute for the OE 3M stone/chip guard ?
NO i would not say it is just different . you can't buy the same solvent stone guard of days past . you can't even buy the proper color of the old OE 3M stone/chip guard .
if your looking to match the OE color you have to tint a stone guard product to match it .
with the wurth aka u-pol you can tint it to match and the wurth aka u-pol the texture is also the same as the old OE 3M . seams like a win win to me .
you could spray any color chip guard but then it's not a proper match .
you could then paint over the any color chip guard and years down the road you will have the paint being sandblasted off by your tires kicking up road crap . then you will see the wrong color under the paint .

when someone posts a comment like this they really have no idea at all what they are really talking about .
they do not know products nor how to use them !

as for the gun you use . the one posted is one of the cheapest ones and not really worth to much . they are ok for home use but not one you would pick to match proper textures of stone guards .
side note i love how the only color is black on it you know that person have never sprayed any other color but black thru it !
so i guess he is right the 2 part is the way to go . i bet he also thinks bed line makes for a real good stone guard too !

what makes bed liner and a lot of two part chip guards not as good a single part chip guards is there are harder . you may think harder is better but this thinking is wrong .
a hard product is easier to sandblast then a soft material . think of a stone / chip guard as rubber . if you ever tried to sand blast a piece of rubber you would know you would be there for ever trying to sand blast a hole thru it . why ?
thats simple the sand is bouncing off and having little to no effect removing material .
this is not the case with a harder product . sandblasting will eat right into it and over time will blast right thru it to your substrate .

there is a reason why even your 1970's 911 stone guard is a PITA to remove .
over the winter i stripped the bed liner a guy had some one spray on his old 69 mustang . it came right off with a air scraper took less then a day to remove every bit of it .
he had the done 6 years ago and the bed liner was flaking and getting sand blasted off from the wheel houses .
