Btw, the plastidip looks much better than expected! you did a great job.

Thanks, I get alot people asking me how do I wash it's..., I just take it to a car wash and spray soap & water NO scrubbing , 1 thing I did notice is that the matte white is very brite

any idea of the expected life of a wrap?... not for something that sitts in the gararge but more of a daily driver?

This is a daily driven car, it's been almost a year and it's in the same condition. The weather sucks here and it still holds up perfectly. It gets parked outside in the hot sun or pouring rain when I am at school or work.

Haven't washed the car with soap for over 2 months now since it's raining every day. All i do is use a garden hose and spray it down once every 2-3 weeks and it looks pretty clean. Some water marks here and there but using a magic eraser just takes it all off easily.

Got hit by a few careless drivers with their doors in parking lots, leaves a light scratch but even those can be cleaned up easily with a magic eraser - gets rid of at least 90% of it, usually 100% of it.
