I went with Xpel and it is so worth it. You literally have to get within a few inches of the material to see the edge of it where it ends, and it doesn't have any texture or orange peel effect to it at all. It is crystal clear with a perfect, smooth finish. No one has so far noticed it on my car unless I tell them specifically where to look.

Plus I got a few dings and scratches on the Xpel after driving it for a few days, and it looked like quite a bit of damage. I left it parked in the sun for a few hours, came back, and all the scratches and dings were gone! The material has self healing properties and doesn't yellow over time either. I love it!

Hope that helps.
it does, thanks for your reply. Im always looking for a good way to protect my car but always hated the 3m tape thing although im sure it works well at protecting paint! If I can see it then its a nono lol.
