There is a lot of misinformation (not meant to be an attack on you) in your post. I am an installer and have been in the industry a long time. There are film companies and pattern companies. Any film can be used with any pattern. There is also no new 3M film out... at least within the last few months. VentureShield does have a top coat film... VentureShield Ultra. Everyone in the industry knows that VentureShield Ultra has less orange peel than 3M but is not quiet as durable. That said VS Ultra comes with a lifetime warranty as opposed to 5 years for 3M. I do not use 3M or Venture patterns because ProForm Design makes the best patterns out there bar none. Those patterns coupled with VS Ultra or ClearMask AR is the best combo IMHO. A good pattern with good film and a good installer will provide great results.
Either way you made a great decision getting the clear bra when your car was new. Todays paint is not durable even compared to paints used a few years ago. My last 3 cars have all had film applied when they were brand new and with over 150,000 miles between the 3 vehicles you cant find a rock chip anywhere on them. Its a great investment and will keep your car looking new for a long time.
