Seems a good idea in short term but bit of a waste long term

You need to be more careful when washing, and obviously no polish - seems to last a while before you damage it & have to start again.

I've heard of people getting 18 months & it still looking nice, so I would say it is more of a short term thing than a real respray.

I had a wrap put on my car around 3 years ago, I just take it to a £5 car was every week and its fine. 3 years later it looks as good as new.
