The wrap on this boat is 7 years old the color/image has not changed since it was installed. This is our second wrapped boat and with the limestone/hard water stains in our area I will never own a boat without one in the future. Makes cleaning the boat a breeze, no need to wax, just mist with 50/50 vinegar and water then wipe dry. If you want that slick just waxed look hit it with a mist of MeGuiar's Quick Detail. Overall this wrap has held up great the only real issues/scares on the wrap were caused (1) in the picture, rolled forward in the garage and stopped on a dirt bike handle bar. (2) just recently we have been keeping it on a lift with straps and they have chaffed the wrap a little on the edges, will clean it up once we get it on a cradle. Let me know if you have any other questions. See other comments below.
