I am looking for protection for Calandered and cast films, regarding vehicle graphics.
What product helps to minimize against sun damage as well as other damages that can occur on the road?

I heard that protector 303 is good, or is it too mainstream? Should I use frog juice instead?
I look forward to some great answers.
Thanks

Huh? Are you talking printed graphics or cut vinyl lettering? Printed graphics get a quality overlaminate with UV inhibitors already in it. Cut vinyl letters get nothing but the occasional coat of wax when the vehicle is washed and maintained. Don't overthink this, everything has a life span.

if you're wanting to protect calendared graphics.... you might want to rethink that and start off using cast products. We only use 3M materials here (unless there is a specialty film like phototex/wallpaper required), and I would recommend a laminate film like 8518/8519/8520 for UV protection.

We slather sunscreen (SPF 50) all over our graphics after application.
