yep.. after 9 months of usage, I can say it fades under sun even with protector polish..(must admit I start to use polish halfway)
and a sad experience, dont try it on old weak laquer..

it removed my old roof laquer half as we positioned incorrectly

pictures are without polish.. and I had applied just 3 weeks ago.. our rain must be acidic.. this car was never parked under a tree ..

I think the black line is the shadow from the ariel

Was it supposed to be a much darker colour ?

yep.. the constant heat whole day must have affected it.. problem is here if I paint the roof the value for the car drops if I continue to cover it everytime it costs like a paint

first problem.. it gets dirty and not easy to clean as a normal paint..

in UK I dont think it will fade quickly like here but wont last long imo.. and not sure about the rain effect..

personally I wont go for it again..
