I've seen some reviews showing problems with this product but I've been using it for 6 months now and haven't noticed any problems at all. I wash both of our cars every week, every time I unbolt them just to check and everything looks intact. Because they offer so much at such a low price, I have them in my car, SUV, and both of my son's bikes, so I love that all wheeled transportation has the same look. The only thing I would like to say is that over the past few months we have started parking our SUV outside of the garage and I have noticed that the blue paint is fading a bit as the car and bikes that are always in parked in the garage still look like new. . .
