Mine has no yellow tint to it at all, like some. It even has some uv stuff in it. Then, i also add a couple coats of clear when i finish my stuff for added protection. I have stuff on my car now that i wrapped like 5 or 6 years ago and it still flawless. Basically, u get what u pay for...A little extra for me in materials = a nicer finish and longer lasting quality.

Thanks for your reply man. What I was referring to are the JDM hoods which turns yellow like top secret and Veilside, so was a bit surprising for me as well. Maybe the sun intensity is very high in our part of the world
Cant wait the list to fill
