Now what affect will the wrap have on the paint after it's been on the car for a good year or so? How hard is it to remove?

Vinyl manufactuters use auto finish friendly adhesives that won't damage the paint, assuming you have factory paint or high end custom paint. The wrap preserves the paint by sheilding it from UV rays, road grit, water spots from rain or sprinklers, bird crap and other contaminants. As far as rock chips, the wrap will provide a layer of protection to lessen the impact to the paint.

Do you wash the car the same way with a wrapped car?

thanks... i was more wondering how much the wrap can possibly hide imperfections on the car pre-wrap... if you have chips, rash, and such, do you have to get the area repainted/filled first...

You wash the car with a mild soap, like you would normally. As far as existing chips, all imperfections will show through the wrap since it is only about 3-4mil thick. You would want to use touch up paint to fill the chips before hand. You can also get a clear wrap on the front, side skirts and mirrors to protect your paint.

Yep, I have the everything forward of the doors + rocker panels wrapped in a clear-bra. You literally cannot tell it's there (If you use a good shop)
