We have never seen a 'perfect' clear bra install. It is there to protect the paint. Get up close enough and you will see 'something' dust, lint fiber, adhesive disturbances, etc. Stand 8-10 feet back and all you should see is a clean chip free car. Five years later it will still look that way. Without the material, well no, chip city...

When to get it done? The sooner the better. Will pay for itself over the long haul.

3M has a new Pro Series Scotchgard material - that is the one to go with. very clear and backed by a 7 year national warranty, and is self healing. minor scratches to the polymer top coat flatten out with the heat of sitting in the sun or the application of hot water.
