it was only about $9, very cheap.

it was still very difficult to find the imperfections in the paint. maybe it's the combination of the new paint and the wrb color. if it was that difficult to find imperfections in multiple light conditions, then i'm pretty content with the results even if there are still invisible scratches on the paint.

it would be better to frame your pic at a quarter view so the angle will make your color pop.

When i was detailing NWIguys SWP BRZ, these protective stickers left some mark at their edges both in the front fenders, rear spoilers and some in the front bumpers. The dealers did a lousy detail.

here was my results:

Your results are looking great guys, I'll go ahead and say do not let the dealer wash your vehicle. Just give it a quick rinse while at the dealership to see any paint damage.
