XPEL

jbjones85, How did the installation go? The clear polish will be just fine on XPEL ULTIMATE. In very very rare occurrences will XPEL ULTIMATE yellow, and even then this is due to the fact that the film is just dirty and needs to be cleaned. That said though, we warranty yellowing on our film where practically no one else does. Chase@Adams said it right, To avoid seeing any rock chips underneath the paint protection it is best to have them touched up. Light scratches and swirl marks will actually be masked and hidden by the paint protection film. Because ULTIMATE has an automotive clear coat at the top layer you can polish our film with the typical correction polish and finishing polish. There is no need to polish at slower speeds or make faster passes. It behaves just like paint. It was mentioned that XPEL ULTIMATE needs to be refreshed every x amount of years. Our warranty is ten (10) years from the date of purchase. This does not mean that after ten years the film needs to be replaced. If maintained, washed, waxed, and sealed/polished properly the film can last indefinitely. Just like with most things in life, the better you take care of something the longer it will usually last. Using these products will NOT void the films warranty. Rich, We have installed film over numerous hood stripes over the years and haven't had a single issue with anyone pulling stripe or paint. The key is using the right removal technique. First use a steamer to soften the adhesive and then when you go to remove it, stretch the film off rather than pulling straight up or back over itself. This will minimize the stress on whatever the film is stuck to as well as preventing it from leaving all its adhesive behind.
