Brand new car, factory paint, factory ppf, removed by a professional.

Does XPEL offer a guarantee that their PPF won't pull paint off when removed? No need for disclaimers, etc. If they're so confident, they should provide a warranty. I've had high quality PPF (Clearguard Nano, look it up) on my car for years, installed by one of the best installers in the business, and even he has had incidents where the paint pulled off (mainly on cars that were PPF-ed elsewhere and gone to him to replace the PPF.

Now I'm not saying that 100% PPF removal will pull paint off, but it's naive to believe that it won't. And it happens often enough that I don't think frequent PPF replacement is feasible, unlike frequent resprays which are easier to do (color matching is a separate discussion).
