On another note, VentureShield does make a good filme and it has less orange peel than the Xpel standard film. That being said, it doesn't hold up nearly as well as either of Xpel's film. Having used all three films, the Xpel premium film is by far the best film out there. The only difference between the Xpel premium and standard is a the orange peel as they are constructed the same way; assembly methods differ so there is less orange peel.
As far as picking a film for a particular color, color does matter. The orange peel shows up more on darker colors. For light colors you can get away with standard films; on darker colors, the premium film from Xpel looks best and better than VentureShield.

Its pretty comon knowledge that Xpel has been going down the tubes.They would have been better off focusing on the pattern side of the industry and not making their own film. Here is the companies stock info... look at the 52 week chart. High of a $1.38 per share and now its $0.02 a share. Looks pretty rough to me... would you buy the stock with that kind of return???

As far as using a film with less or more orange peel on different colors, I dont buy your respsonse. I will use the same film no matter what the color is because an owner should not have to accept more orange peel if they have a lighter color of car. I prefer no orange peel... no matter the color.
VS Ultra is top coated and very durable. And I will put ClearMask AR up against any film out there. Durability, finish, or clarity... it is simply the best all around film out there. I have tried them all at some at some point in the last5 years and I think these two are the best options on the market. I have tried Xpel and there was simply too much orange peel on it for me... so I pulled it right back off. In all honesty I can not speak for the durability of the film because I didnt leave it on the car long.
