In my case, the originals lasted 5 years. If I can keep it looking good for a few more years, then I will either trade it or sell it. Otherwise, I agree, it is not going to cure the problem, just buy some time.

Burlington only cut and print the graphics, the base material is made by either or both of 3M and Dennison/Avery. Both of these are well respected companies and their products are probably as good as it gets. I have an experienced auto graphics tech doing the installation part of mine, and when I asked him about the failure, his comment was that it was just the way it was, does not matter much what brand you use, they are going to fail over time.

One thing he did point out was that it is the printed graphics that fail (multi colours on a white base stock), some of the graphics are solid colour all the way through, for some reason these solid colour portions of my graphics look as good as new, in fact I am not even going to remove them.
