I can vouch for Folia Tec being an excellent product, we did a friends car 3 years ago and it still looks great.

So far so good.
I have read on other forums that people used Rustoleum and two years later they still look great. So I don't have any reason to believe that the premium Lowe's brand should fair any worse.
