My dad and I had a loud argument about this on Sunday, and now we both want a judge. I am about to sell my Nissan X-Trail in a year and buy something bigger, and a friend told me to put film on it now so the paint stays clean for the next owner. My dad says that is silly. He thinks buyers will see film and think I am hiding something, or that it will peel off and leave marks. I park outside our building near Khalifa Park, and the front of the car already has a few chips from the highway. I looked up some Genuine paint protection film explained for Abu Dhabi drivers, and what I took from it is that the film is a clear layer that sits on top of the paint and takes the chips instead of the paint, so in theory the paint underneath should stay in good shape. That made me think my dad might be wrong, but I do not want to spend money and then find out buyers do not care. So I have some simple questions. Does film really help the car sell for more, or do most buyers not notice it? When you sold a car with film on it, did the dealer or the buyer say anything? Is it better to keep the film on when selling, or take it off first? Can it be removed without leaving glue marks or lifting the paint, especially on a car that is already a few years old? Also, if I only cover the front, like the bonnet, bumper and mirrors, would that be enough to make a difference at resale? And how long should the film last in this heat before it needs to be changed? If you sold a car with film lately, please tell me what you paid for it, what the buyer said, and if you would do it again. Easy answers help me most.
