I know of a couple of people who had their cars wrapped only to either re-do it or remove it completely after a few months.

I'd be concerned if it came to selling a wrapped car that potential buyers might be put off by what the wrap could be hiding, even if it isn't hiding anything.

I had the roof and bonnet done ages ago in carbon wrap. Bonnet was done to cover some stone chips. Looked good for about 3 years, then faded badly.

The worse was then trying to get it off! Even with a heat gun, it was tiny bits at a time, then it left a sticky film....
