I was thinking about doing xpel since I've heard good things. I just don't want my paint peel off if I decide to take the film off.

Raj, depending on the painters prep-work for the paintjob, which it sounds you trust, you will be fine with applying a protectant film, given that you give the paint plenty of time to cure.

My buddy Jason, who detailed my Z, also recommended Xpel for perfect edges but did mention it can tend to have a slight texture to it. To some, maybe the "orange peal" look is not too noticeable, though. Suntek has a good product, too, without the texture, but not as good of a warranty compared to Xpel, according to him.
