installed my clear bra

Got a certified 3m installer in the Miami area to install my Clear bra. Xpel on the hood and 3M on the bumper. I know its normal to get some bubbles, but mine seems to have a lot more than I imagined (maybe its just me). It was installed on Friday, and I have atleast like 8 to 10 bubbles on the hood, and that pattern continues on through the bumper. Can anybody chime in?

Just like a tint, you will have bubbles for up to a week as the the 3M wrap cures. The bubbles will dissapear.

my advice is to remove it as quickly as possible. Ive seen a coupleinstances where, within a year or two, there is a huge contrast in the paint between where the bra is and where it isnt. I know the product advertises 99.95 percent clear, but ive seen with my own eyes that this does happen. Ruined the paint job on my friends two year old, $40000 dollar benz. My car had it on when i got it and it was the first "mod" i did. I told the dealer the only way i would buy that car was to not be charged for the clear bra. Dont take my word. A search in google will confirm my personal experience is not unique. Im not trying to be rude, just a friendly warning.
By the way, im in lauderdale too. Hello
