Xpel is self healing, higher gloss, easier to clean/maintain, more transparent, very clear minimal orange peel.

Basically stay away from 3m clearbra products(3m, scotchgard, venture shield). Another film to look into would be Suntek; Suntek and Xpel are basically the same thing. Rumor has it they're manufactured by the same person. Id also recommend Avery Nano but finding someone that installs it is very difficult.

Youtube xpel self healing, you will be sold. ahah
With one post I'm hoping you don't work for Xpel lol. I've had Ventureshield on my DD for 3 years now. No yellowing and it heals just like the rest. The gloss looks exactly like well-polished clear coat. The only orange peel I see is what was already there from the paint surface beneath.

It's even installed on the headlights where you would definitely see yellowing, but everything is crystal clear. The car sits outside 100% of the time.

I'm sure Xpel is an awesome product too. I'm just trying to give everyone a clear picture. There's too much misinformation on car forums
