That plastic stuff is really a scam. I mean, it's just a thin coating of vastly overpriced plastic sheeting. It's not the miracle-of-science protective coating they want you to believe, and we so badly want. It's just plastic. It is inferior to paint in gloss, in reflectivity and in the way it handles moisture. It doesn't look that good, it gets old, and it will do nothing to protect your car from anything more serious than a small twig or tiny pebble.

Save your money and get the car detailed more often, and any chips or scrapes repaired as soon as you can. In ten years, this plastic coating stuff will be history, like Rusty Jones, Ziebart and all the other snake oil junk foisted on innocent car owners who just want to protect their possessions.

These marketing guys are masters at psuedo-science. They'll drop any term they can to sell their stuff - ultra-nano-barrier, neuro-active coating, black hole resistancy, meteorological quality, grand cru, biocidal, torsionally suspensive matter transfer, hormone-mimicking honeycomb multilaminate substructures. Its a big joke for them.
