I've seen references on other forums on 3M generation 1 and 3M generation 2. Also how expensive Ventureshield is.

For example, here's an (edited) quote, "If you get cheap film, 3M (first generation) film with UV inhibitors or VentureShield with UV inhibitors, that will discolor your car just a bit. If your get 3M (second generation) film withOUT UV inhibitors or Llumar film withOUT UV inhibitors, your paint will be protected and look just fine." I have seen other positive notes about Llumar too.

Interested to hear from others with experience of 3M second generation, Ventureshield or Llumar.
