Cape York Adventure.

In July 2007 I approached Duco Scratch to install protective film on my new Discovery 3 vehicle. I requested coverage over all body panels that would be vulnerable to stone damage or scratching when driving along outback roads and overgrown 4WD tracks.
At the time this was the largest protective film job attempted by Duco Scratch

In the middle of 2007 we prepared a Land Rover Discovery 3 for an off-road adventure at Cape York. The vehicle was just a few weeks old and the owner was worried about possible damage to the paint from stones and branches beside the roads in Far North Queensland.

We wrapped almost the entire vehicle. We protected the bonnet, headlights, grill, rear window and brake lights with the Venture Tape film 7514 (0.3mm) and roof and all vehicle sides including C and D pillars with the Venture Tape film 7510 (0.15mm).

We were able to inspect the vehicle after it returned to Brisbane a few weeks later and we were amazed with the film's performance. The film not just protected the vehicle paint from chips and scratches, but the film itself was scratch free. This is really a remarkable protective film.

We are able to supply film in bulk if you like to cover the sides of your vehicle before you go on a serious off-road adventure.

Brolga pusher propeller

Originally I used Duco Scratch to install protective film on my new Discovery 3 vehicle shortly before I travelled 9,000kms throughout Cape York and the remote areas of North Queensland. The vehicle returned in excellent condition without scratches and stone chips.

After this experience I was interested to see if this film would solve a problem I was having with stones chipping the three bladed Brolga pusher propeller on my gyroplane. Stone damage had increased significantly as the drought reduced the grass cover on landing strips and before applying the film I was getting stone damage after every flight.
