Gen6 Paint protection film

Hi, I got my new Camry for just 4weeks and already have installed mudguards, ventvisors, window films, but wanted to share my experience with paint protection film that got installed recently.

My wife has a 2007 Rav4 and the paint is so delicate that the hood and bumper look worse than a Humvee in Iraq. That's why I decided to install a PPF on my new Camry. There are many brands out there, but chose Clearshield just because the representative was the nearest one (and got a good offer for both the PPF and window films).

I can't lie to you and say that it is invisible, however it takes some effort to notice it unless you get very close. Go to my site at Cardomain and check it out. Here's a preview...

No, I had it installed by the same people who installed the window films. The 3m ppf might be available at Walmart (have never seen it) and might be of better quality, but I prefer to get it installed by someone who is trained and can provide warranty. In addition, I doubt the one available at Walmart comes in a custom computer cut pattern.
