After months of search, finally got one!

Certainly agree. Just for the record, I'm not attempting to accuse you specifically of fear inducing, however all I'm saying is anytime I ever see anyone say PPF is a bad idea, this is the point they usually default to, which is fair. I just don't think in a large data set, that many cars that do get PPFed, and removed after 5-10 years, end up resulting in damaged paint. That's all. Hence why I think it's an overexaggerated argumentative point. You almost shouldn't even have to worry about this so long as you choose good materials/installers. If you don't and pick someone to uninstall your PPF like a jerk after having a bad install, then that's on you. A datapoint I would consider an outlier.

Anyway, nothing but respect for your opinion.

The ppf damaging paint on removal talk track has been bandied about for years, and with all due respect, I disagree with that position. It's a falsehood from the whole cloth. I have not seen evidence that is highly probable, reliable, and with consistent results that supports the theory that ppf removal after 5+ years damages the underlying surface. Could it happen? Sure. But will it occur with a high degree of certainty? It will not. What I have seen, is the one off Reddit, YouTube, or IG post about ppf pulling off paint on removal.

Happened to a friend of mine. Like I said I have personally seen it. Is the risk high, probably not. But there is a risk. Asymmetrical paint wear / fading is absolutely legitimate unless you do a full wrap.
