Not over yet. I returned to the shop regarding one of the seams on the front as I mentioned in my earlier message below. The owner/installer agreed that it needs to be replaced so we will be scheduling time to get that done. The rest of the job looks good. Still need some good hot sun to help a few minor installation marks disappear. I'm told that is normal. Only time will tell at this point.

I meant to post regarding this but didn't get to it yet. The xPEL film has no orange peel at all and is hard to see on the car. From what I understand, the 3M film has orange peel purposely to better match production car finishes. Since our cars don't have orange peel, I think the xPEL is the better choice. My rear fender spats are as close to invisible as can be. I had the doors covered entirely and there is no difference in the finish as a result. I'm no expert, but am happy with my results. That said, one of the front pieces on my car is more visible than the other at the seam. Supposedly, the bit of cloudiness will fade when it dries thoroughly. If not, I'll visit the shop to see what can be done. This has nothing to do with the file, just the installation.

Any update on the Xpel installation? I was wondering about this stuff and how/if it adds any orange peel to a perfect flat sanded/buffed paint job. Thanks!
