The 2015 I bought has this. My only concern is how it will hold up....seven or eight years from now, numerous car washes, etc?

My 2013 has 45K miles. The film is holding up nicely. I do have one small dent in the leading edge of the hood where the film is punctured and could not have prevented the presumedly-stone hit.

My application is on the hood, mirrors, and door edges. It was expensive. I scrub/rub it vigorously to no obvious detriment.

I wish it were also on the front bumper and headlights.

Clear film, 6 1/2 years still looks good.

Just giving some testimony on Xpel Ultimate. I had a bottom of this traffic barrier (the black stuff on the bottom) https://www.google.com/search?q=traf...QJ4bcEcrCodWM: fly out at me after a driver in front me thought it was funny to run over it while going 60 mph. it knocked out the bottom front spoler trim https://advancebay.com/products/2013...0-oem-706-83-a and scratched up my bumper. Or more precisely it scratched up my clear bra material with 2 deep and distinct lines about 6 inches long. I tried to rub them out but it didn't work. Well, a couple of weeks later they are gone. I don't know how. But I guess that "self healing" thing works.
