They told me yesterday that after cleaning the surface, they apply a layer of Colinite wax to the panels to be covered, and then install the film. When pressed, they say they do it that way, despite it not being according to the book, so that the film becomes a little easier to remove to lessen the risk of pulling paint.
This has me concerned. Anybody had theirs done this way?

In training, it was briefly mentioned that you could do something like this with a quick wax or a detail spray to allow for a bit more movement in the film. I wouldn't think it would hurt on larger flatter areas, but on edges, it may could cause premature lifting.
