You can still get yellowing even with the latest PPFs. It's caused by UV exposure. If your car is garaged most of the time when it is not driven, it'll likely never yellow. But if you park it in the sun a lot the vinyl can yellow and the adhesive can fail. Once it fails, it is an absolute pain to get off the car.

3M Pro Series is warranted against yellowing for 10 years. Parts and Labor are covered - even if the original shop that did the installation is no longer in business.

So where does the 10 year warranty come in then?

How can 3M warranty the film/labor of the Installer goes out of business? Who will do it?
