Moved this for ya. As I said in prior post, IMO you've got to see it in person to make the call.

It's not what I'd call 'bad' by any stretch of the imagination and not terribly noticable, but it personally its enough that it would bother me. Still, may be worth the tradeoff if you live in a high-debris area.

Xpel is pretty much a Clear Bra, right?

So your girlfriend wears a clear bra, amazing!

BlackDiamond has it (Mumbles). I can barely tell on his car and probably wouldn't if he did not tell me. The most obvious part is the lint that gathers where the line ends. But it is not noticable at all.
