I have the Mazda one.  The paint can be abraided under some conditions.  
Make sure the nose is waxed and that the mask is on tight.  As to washing 
you don't want the mask to every be left on the car wet.  Doing so can 
mark the paint, possibly for good.  I left mine on overnight once after 
being caught in some rain.  When I removed it the next day I could read 
Miata on the nose.  A little waxing cleaned it off.  As to the type that 
covers some of the hood they are more of a pain to put on and take off.  
They do provide better protection in return.  I use mine only on trips.
