I just got my entire car repainted and I want to protect the paint for as long as possible. Any feedback would appreciated.

looks like it might be a clear bra kit. if you're pretty handy, you may be able to install in yourself. Usually it takes professionals to wrap the vehicle in about 5 hours.
I would check out local shops in your area to see how much they charge. To clear bra the entire front bumper, partial hood, A-pillars, mirrors, partial trunk it usually runs about $700 using 3m or Venture film.

I would leave it to the pros... its not an easy install and to do it right w/o air bubbles and spider webs is tough.

I paint. Often. Entire cars and wheels. I'm not a 'professional' as I do this as a hobby but I do have 10 yrs experience. Do not put vinyl or anything else on that car for 30 days. Period. Your clearcoat needs to harden to it's maximum. when you buy cars at dealers that vinyl you see is breathable vinyl not your average and not an invisishield.....and it's not applied immediately in most cases. You could end up taking the clearcoat off when the vinyl is removed if you do not let it take it's course.

Good advice. I install Clear Bra's and I make sure to ask if the parts have been repainted and will not install the kits unless it been more than 30 days. If not it will peel the clear coat and the paint when ever its removed.
Not a pretty sight.
