I've seen 6 months to 2 years. Depends on where it is used. After 6 months I started to see peeling on the edges of my rims but some people paint body parts which they claim still look ok 2 years later. Touch ups are easy.It looks great at first, but after it gets older and dirty it is obvious it's plasti dip

No touch ups yet. I've driven the car to the top sail island in nc recently, then back to stl. No chips, no wear, no fading. But remember, it's a matte so it needs a nice shine once in a while (normally just rinse with water). The car's been thru the automatic car wash as well, and still holding up just fine. :)

I used it on some costume armor and it's holding up perfectly. It's better than I expected!

I've had mine for a little less than a year. The paint is not easily scratched. Still looks new.

I never went through a car wash with it, and there is not a chance I would have even tried. I'm 100% positive this vinyl would hold up just fine, as it is pretty tough stuff...I just wouldn't want to risk tearing it up after all the time and effort it took to get it perfect.

I used it on the emblems if a 2013 Honda Civic and it has stayed intact. It's been through harsh weather and washed and hasn't peeled. This stuff is great.

Doesn't really look like it. Just buy Armor All Trim and Plastic Restorer. Restores plastic, vinyl, and rubber trim. Helps prevent fading, discoloration and oxidation. Helps prevent damage caused by UV Rays. With a detailer or wax, applicator, and Microfiber towel, you should be set. Or buy the complete kit, some should work. I once detailed our show car with our Armor All vinyl protectant by mistake and it really looked good. Won best of show. Hope this helped.

I used it on my dash about a month ago, it's black vinyl. The shine still looks the same the day I applied it. It doesn't seem like I will have to use it anytime soon. I'll probably do it once a year if that. I don't see it becoming more dull by not repeatedly being used. Of course, not every dash is exactly the same material/quality but I think it will last a while for me.

I just used the pre-cleaner first and then LG for the first time 2 weeks ago and after using the pre-cleaner the car looked awesome. I think it takes off a lot of microscopic junk from the paint. If you could swing it, I would do it. Or just do a clay bar, whichever is cheaper. I did clay bar first. But it was after the pre-cleaner the car looked so shiny! And then I think the LG adds a lot of protection to that shine and adds a bit more shine also.

I put the Rugged Ridge on my wife's 2013 almost 2 years ago and it hasn't faded yet. I also have their rain guards on the windows. The only thing is that they have their logo on them and the logo will fade from red to pink, but it will eventually wear off and you wont know its there. As far as the shield itself, it still looks as good as the day I installed it. I am not sure if the holes will line up or not, but imagine they would, as most of the shields I have installed were the same as other brands.

It really holds up. I have had mine on for a couple of months and it is good as new. I won't buy anything else when I purchase again.

Great question. I don't have a definitive answer for you but I can say that me has been on for over a year and under constant Texas sun and only faded slightly. I figured for the price if it lasts 2 years in our climate I would be doing great. Looks like it is going to last much longer than that.

I use it more to spot shine but have been known to go out and use it on the entire car. If it's fairly clean you can use the towel again but if it has been anything like this winter you need to wash them but they hold up well. I love it and actually have the touch up wax as well for little nicks.

I would recommend this product on any exterior item you wish to protect. I used this on my 2013 vehicle this past July and it still appears to have a protective appearance. Easy to apply and take off, just have to leave on at least 15-25 minutes before removing.

Jorge buenos dias, como esta, I have washed my automobile about 6 times since i have put End Dings on and to date there has been no damage or peel, however i should say this is early time Jorge and maybe we should give it a couple of months since i have only had it on for approximately 2 months thus far, I hope this assists you George have a great week.Al

Thank you for your question Ms Hampton. The cow print stickers have a three year durability for outdoor applications. They can be used on cars but they are of a matte finish rather than the glossy that is mostly used on cars. We personally used them on our cars for about two years with no problems with cracking or fading but I wouldn't get them if you plan on having them on a car for more than 2 to 3 years. I hope that answered your question, but let me know if you have more. Thank you, StevePresto Chango Decor,inc.

Since I already have this one, I'd probably buy a different decal. After 6 months, it still looks great and has no signs of peeling. Remember to use a credit card edge when applying so it adheres nicely to your wall.

The preperation of the paint is the most important step. Using it on my wife's car, 2005 model, and the car is still in showroom condition. Wax goes on nicely, apply only in one direction, polish it up with a microfiver cloth and use a second one to buff it to a beautiful sheen. Gives great depth to the paintwork and gives that nice wet look. works even better when applied with a polisher, I use an orbital polisher. Waxing is the final step to achieve the wet look finish. Wax doesn't last as long as sealants/polishes. I'm a bit of a detailing nut, so I apply wax every week when washing the car. I've noticed that it is still effective after a month and still gives that nice beading effect in the rain. Another bonus of this product, during normal weekly commuting, especially in the rain, the car seems to stay cleaner for longer as the dirt battles to find grip on the super slippery surface. I've tried various products and am very happy with P21S - finally found the rpoduct that I'll stick with. I also use Autoglym Super Resin Polish as the sealant, Chemical Guys Wet Mirror Finish as the polish. Don't forget to clay the vehicle at least once every six months to get rid of all the oxidation and garbage that collects on the paintwork. Chemical Guys have some nice products for dark coloured vehicles like yours. Hope the info helped.
