Is Hexis a good vinyl company??

Recently I've been looking to vinyl some parts of my car and I found that Hexis has a good price and the exact vinyl color I am looking for, but many people prefer to use 3m over anything else. I would like to know if Hexis would work well because I am reading that the durability is up to 10 years.
Please respond below if you have any comments regarding why I should or should not use Hexis. Thank you

Hexis is a great company and they are very reputable. I recently wrapped my whole car and had some expereince with the Hexis vinyl. The material is thicker and its easy to stretch without riping unlike 3M. I'm not saying 3M is a bad vinyl but the 2 materials will act differently. if you are wrapping your car on your own I would go with Hexis just becuase its easier to stretch and you get more room to stretch becuase its a thicker material. They also have a great color selection. I purchased my roll from Adamn at autovinylsolutions.com and just finished wrapping my car. He was a big help guiding me on how to apply the vinyl. This is my second car wrap and both of the 3m and Hexis materials are great, they just react differerntly. Now for the durability for 10 years.....I can not answer that questions since I only had my car wrapped for about a year last time.
