Did my whole are with the 3M branded stuff. Cost about $4000 but no regrets here!! Car still looks brand new after 2 winters and on the 3rd summer. The 3M stuff does get swirl marks and I can hide them with a nice hand waxing, but you can never get them to go away with the 3M brand (cant polish plastic).

I did it so when the car is 5,10,15 years or however old I want to wait it will have factory new paint. I do know there are 2 thicknesses and I opted for the thicker one (although the guy said it was a pain to work with vs the thin stuff). No paint chips under it at all. I also had the hood edge and fender edged wraped around.

Would I do it again.... YES!
