does the surface of the film as applied on the grill and hood tend to become cloudy over time as a result of multiple "dings" scratching the surface.

I only used it for door edge guards which it does an excellent job with that.

I have had this on my hood for some 6 or 7 months and it has not changed color, I recommend the larger size if your going to use as a bug guard, you may need two rolls as one didn't cover my hood on my 2011 Silverado 2500 hd. I have gone over 7000 mile since I have had it on.

I am only using it on the edges of my doors and so far it looks great. I am told by others that it is good for up to three years and doesn't cloud or yellow.

I've applied this to the edge of door about 6 mths ago & hasn't become cloudy hope this helps.

I think you may be expecting too much from the film. I won't say its cloudy, but the smooth invisible texture isn't there either. Once you get a handful of cuts in the film from debris, I would just replace it if you think it looks bad. At least your paint job is still intact... something much more costly to correct than putting down new film.

not really sure since I have not yet ran into that problem. However, it sounds like the coating is just wearing off.

Sorry to here that! I have not had that happen. My ceramic griddle came with small scratches on the lip on one side and after using the griddle awhile, the scratches have not peeled or gotten bigger.

I have had no issues with my grill. I brush the grates with oil, and it has been a great grill.

No just clean it good after you put it on or your fingerprints and grease marks will stain the metal. Never had any heat problems.

No, it does leave a white residue that's a pain to remove(especially when it drys). The residue isn't permanent though. The places I had issues with was the rubber window seals and the plastic grill on the front end.

It should be though I am not sure how the grill might affect the pan and the color of the pan over time.

After several months of using this cover I can see some traces of the adhesive on the edges around all areas. It like the cover shrunk a little bit... I guess caused by the heat. Not enough to bother me, though... this residuals can be easily cleaned without affecting the cover. I still think in overall, the cover looks sharp.

i BELIEVE BOTH BECKY L's AND WILLIAM T's ANSWERS WOULD COMBINE TO PRODUCE MY ANSWER.Minor scratches upon receipt. Reflecting surface durable and produces an image which is not perfect. Probably would scratch with hard steel wool cleaning. Hope this helps. Don C.

So far we have had no problems with scratching, When using my cast iron pans I do use extra caution and only use them on low and medium temps. The stainless steel pots and pans which we use most have not left any scratches or marks. Any splashes or spill overs have been easy to clean with Weiman Glass top cleaner and a micro fiber cloth. Hope this helps

No, it does not become hazy or cloudy. Finger oils are only visible with the screen off and only at certain angles in light. They wipe off easily with a microfiber cloth.

It does initially leave a visible film but 'disappears' shortly. You can still feel it on. I apply liberally so it will stay on after working outside. Hope this helps.

They will look buffed or scratched almost immediately, just like the cloudy finish that I'm told comes from cooking with salt. It does not hamper their utility. They are the best pans I have ever used as well as the most expensive.

Pretty much. Has the same issue where edges fail over time, especially on curved surfaces.

It spruced up the stainless quite well but our grill is in good shape. It won't remove marks, scratches, or perhaps burned on grease but where the stainless is dull it makes it look a lot better. My husband said it looked so good he was going to sell it - which he may as well since he rarely grills anything anyway. :(

I have been using Bar Keepers Friend for years now and my Stainless steel pans looks great. No I haven't seen any scratching from the product on my pans, just shiny and looking as new as ever. I also run a small amount of water into my hot pan if it has a lot browned food on the bottom, the left over amount of browning releases after it sits for about 5-10 minutes (no longer), I wash with detergent and water, if there is a glaze on the pan (from the charbohydrate) I pull out the Bar Keepers and it looks as good as new. Don't let them sit over night in liquid it really isn't necessary. I cook hard with my pans (a lot of searing and bechamel) they always clean up without a long soak.

I think I've mentioned this before but here goes again. My application has scratched easily, has worn, and somewhat discolored but it has not cracked off.
