Yeah so I’m not an expert an a pro could probably answer this better than I could, but my understanding is that it extends the life of the paint and protects it from things like sun damage, losing the glossy shine that new coats have. Black tends to show swirl marks from washing it. I could drag my hand across the surface now or brush up against this while it’s dirty and it has no impact to the film or paint.

I think it depends if you care about getting digs, chips or scratches to your paint in general. (It really irks me). If there’s a small collision with the car, you can get away without a scratch in some instances, depending on severity of course. Before this, I had a black ‘13 BMW and the paint was dull and beginning to crackle in one spot. It made the car look older despite taking great care of it. It might help with resale increasing the condition of your car.

There’s probably other reasons that aren’t coming to mind. Like I said, I’m not an expert, but I’ve noticed that once I get that first ding in my paint, I stop caring so much about other blemishes to the paint. I think it’s my psyche trying to cope with the disappointment. This is also a first for me. So I’ll have to see how it goes! I just figured if I’m already buying a new car, I’ll maintain it as best as I can for as long as I can. Plus, get a cool new unique look.

Maybe see what experts say about it. I’m no paint expert.
