Default Wrapping the roof?

Call me crazy but I might try to install roof wrap myself. What are the brands of wraps people get these days? I want the glossy black on my US.

3m 1080. Have been using them for 3 years now. Still looks great and new.

I do wash my own cars (=

I wash my own car as well and try to minimize any fine scratches. My previous car was black and was pain to minimize the swirls which I eventually gave up. So, now I have UW =)

Any particular vendor you like using other than easy amazon?

What are the thoughts on Avery Dennison supreme wrapping film vs 3M 1080 when it comes to gloss black vinyl?
