I'm pretty happy as mentioned before with my applique. 2 years now in a convertible and looks as good as the day I did it. Even on corner that I thought might peel away after time is holding tite..altho I just last month put a dab of clear nail polish to "seal it"
IF you decide to use the applique, and have armour all'd it, use some silicone polish remover and clean it about 5 times!
