would like to hear more about your experiences with this film. i can't seem to find one that won't add a gloss look to my car or a matt one that will "dull" out the look even more , causing a strange contrasting look to the panels that are covered against the panels that aren't.

this is a very important point. BMW ,IMO, has kind of fanned the flames of hysteria with their precautionary statements of having to remove bug/bird messes immediately. what exactly is "immediately"? if it's in the context of a regular gloss car, it means as soon as you can get to it....not pull over to the side of the road and take car of it now!
it's good to hear that your experience is no different that what a regular car would be like.
plus, if you use product like swisswax , that adds another layer of protection from problems like that.

i hope i understand your problem correctly....
if you want to reduce your photos in size so they'd be easier to post online....why not try photoshop? it's easy to change the dpi and the actual size with that program.
there are also other photo manipulation programs out there that are not as pricey as PS.
