What do you base this on? My detailer literally works on 10s of millions of dollars worth of cars a year. He's seen and had to deal with all sort of crazy things. I'm going to trust his word that it happens. I have no personal knowledge or exposure to what/when it happens. As I indicated before, he still recommends and has PPF installed on client cars. So it's not like he says "don't do it."

I also have a racing friend who used basic clear poly film at autocross to protect the car and it pulled the paint off a stock Hyundai Genesis. So that's another person I know first hand that has experienced paint pull with vinyl application as well.

EDIT: See comment from installer further down about it being a non-issue.
