Some folks may not like it, but on my older 240D it looks superb after 3 years
Glad you have had good luck with this. My wife's 735iL had this done to it and I cannot get the stuff off. It has yellowed and looks awful. I have heard others say bad stuff as well. You may have just been one of the lucky ones!
