Default Invisible Mask product - BEWARE!

In the event to protect my wife's '08 Accord EXL with 100% OEM paint something unexpected happened with this product. I would not use this product unless you want what happened to us... See the picture attached and get this all over the web so buyers are aware of it.

The hood did not come out as expected the first time around, so they sent a replacement product. While taking the old product off, it peeled the clearcoat all the way down to the basecoat in a section. I was so mad to say the least! I'm not using the replacement film they sent after seeing this happen. The fenders look great and you can't really see the product that much at all, but I'll be darn if I'm going to remove it now after the hood issue. I'm scared to death to remove it... I've also heard the longer you have it on the harder it is to remove. Keep in mind what happened to the hood was only after the product was on for 4 weeks!

Now I'm gong after the company to give a refund and pay for the damage.

Yes, it's pretty popular and there are many brands out there. It beats putting on a regular bra and is more expensive, but in this case it did not! This brand has a lifetime warranty, but I would still caution anyone doing this on their own after what happened to me. Normally if you pay an installer, they will charge you a lot of money for the install, but they also warranty their work when removing. It would have costed me less at this point to have an installer do the work since I have to pay to get the hood fixed.
