The install was different as well, my first film was a pre-cut while this is custom cut on the car (this made me nervous) but there are fewer seams, fuller coverage, and the film goes much closer to edges.
Thank you for sharing. Xpel then seems to be the better one currently: less orange peel look, self-healing.
