A quick search online seems to suggest that some people love it, while others complain about scratch marks, bubbles, etc.

For those of you that have gotten it done:
Did you do that entire car or just certain sections (and why)?
How long did it last (or is expected to last)?
What sort of maintenance to you do for upkeep (regular car washes, avoid certain soaps, etc)?

Thanks.

There are some folks who have done their entire car, SUV, etc., I have only done the entire front. The choices are many and all yours to decide.

Should last, depend on brand, more than 5 yrs easily without any issues.

I just wash it with waterless wash, but others use any carwash detergent. I do not take it carwashes.

I've had work done by Xtreme Auto Details and Exotic Vehicle Wrap in No VA. Both good, but there are many others in our area.
