3M Pro-Series product put on my 2022 C8 a couple of weeks ago. Front fascia, hood, fenders, headlights, rockers (up into side scoops), mirrors, a-pillars and windshield header for $1,960. 10 year warranty.
They did a great job wrapping over the edges, too. No seams. Can't even tell it's on.

I had a 2005 SLK350 that had clear bra and I removed it in 2018 so 13 years, The film had many little scratches and nicks where stones had hit over the years. It had slightly yellowed but not enough to be noticeable when on the car but a slight yellow when I took it off. When I took it off the paint was absolutely blemish-free and looked like when I bought it. Perfect. However there were some small chips in areas that were not covered. Still I got premium price on trade in. Much more than KBB.
So my C8 I decided to do full cover. I wanted the roof done because it will be off and on and my previous C4 the roof got a bit of abuse due to the odd drop/belt and zipper scratches as it came off and on. This car is low so the roof is quite visible. Looking at the front and sides this car will pick up a lot of rocks and looking at the tires, it will fling them back. So full cover XPEL. The cost was $4500. and doing the entire car means no lines. The front was going to be $2500 so $1500 more for the whole car seemed reasonable.
