My quick 2 cents... My brother and I both have shops. We carried the same products and had roughly the same amount of business. We were both offered to be XPEL dealers and I didn't agree with the "all or nothing" mentality. From what I've noticed, he has had more growth since switching but the grass isn't always greener. A couple of his customers were unhappy but he did send them my way since I still use the same products he used to. He doesn't like the pricing of his products although he does have higher mark up because of the XPEL name - but he said he occasionally feels guilty that he raised his prices (and honestly he feels the product is of lower quality). So it really all depends on your end goal. We both are happy with our decisions and you can't beat the XPEL name but you can beat their quality.

Been dealing with Rayno for years and had issues a few years back but looks like everything has been resolved. The warranty was also a bit of a pain but they kinda worked that out as well. Personally I think the S5 is their best product (color wise and still decent heat rejection).

I use Rayno and the Charcoal color for the S7 and S9 is due to the higher levels of ceramic vs carbon. I sell mainly S5 which is the deep black color, still has great heat rejection though. The S7 I typically only order if they are out of s5, the s9 I order for some higher end customers who prefer higher heat rejection. I wouldn't say the s9 is higher quality its just different film. If you message me I can send you some pictures
