Paint maintenance
#11
Yup, the main reason I like the cling film on my bikes. I had Xpel clear bras installed on both my wife's car and mine when they were new. They do great work, and will last a long time if they are cared for well. Our cars are garaged and get frequent waxing. But, I had a piece of metal shred the hood cover on my car. I tried to help my clear bra installer by peeling it off so he'd have an easier time installing a replacement piece. Instead, he yelled at me for "peeling it off wrong", in a way that left a good deal of the adhesive on the hood. He said it took him twice as long to replace, because if he had "peeled it off right" in his shop, it would have pulled the adhesive up with it. As it was, I had to listen to him grumble for an hour while he scrubbed the adhesive bits off the hood.
