Good to know, albeit a bit late. The dealer already has my arm, leg, and first born.

For those of you who has it installed on the mirrors, do you hear any whistling/wind noise after install? There have been some posts regarding this (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...n-mirrors.html).

Had decent results on my IS last year using 3M Paint Defender spray on film.
Learned from it and applied it much more smoothly resulting in a clear smooth film coating on the NX. It has protected my IS and should work as well on the NX.

3M Paint Defender Spray
It sounds like you have to know what you are doing to apply the 3M Paint Defender Spray. Amazon has a lot of mixed reviews:

Is the paint protection film worth it?
Hi everyone.
I'm new here and am looking into getting the F Sport 2 variant sometime in the next month if I can get a good deal.
One option available here in Canada is the paint protection film. However there is little info on it. Does anyone know what it does (aside from the obvious) and if it is worth it?
Thanks

I bought my NX200t about 5 months ago, was offered paint protection on the entire car by the local Lexus dealership here in Dubai for approximately $500. The film was by a company called DiamondBrite, I did my research, got conflicting reviews but due to a lack of better choice, decided to get it done nonetheless.
My daily commute involved considerable driving on the freeways (hell all roads in Dubai are 8 lane freeways) and I was glad when the film saved my car from a few nasty rock chips.
The only drawback is the constant care of the film, I have to have a "conserver" put on every month else the 3 year warranty would be void. We don't get water to clean our own cars in apartment buildings and taking the car to the local service shop does not always guarantee that the service guys will put on the conserver.
All in all, I think it's a viable option, I would recommend it.

Conserver? None of the major suppliers of PPF here require such a thing.

Could be a marketing ploy? Or maybe the extreme weather conditions? We average about 110F to 120F for a good part of the year.
