Rosso
As far as I know the paint protection is only a "wax-like" coating which does wear off (as you've found). I had it on my last car, but had to have it reapplied every 12 months for $50 a go - not too bad for a comprehensive detail. Overall I didn't think it was too bad as I didn't wax my car for the entire 4 years and it still looked quite good when I sold it. Certainly cut down on the long term maintenance.
This said, I still ended up with quite a few bug marks which would only come off with heavy cutting - despite the claims of the brochures.
Have not had it done with the new car, but means a few more hours of waxing.
