Looking for a premium clear vinyl to print on.

I am looking for a premium clear cast vinyl in which to print on that can withstand a high heat application such as on the hood of a police cruiser. I tried printing on clear laminate and laminating that which worked at first but over the summer and a few high speed chases later, the decal is turning brown. So now I am needing to know if anyone of you can recommend a more durable printable clear vinyl for this type of application.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice given.

Some laminates are more prone to browning than others, most especially cheap ones.

I would try 3M 8518 if you haven't already.

Also 3M makes a clear/transparent in their 180c line. (v1 cross-hatch style adhesive) though it's not rated for digital printing, I know people do anyway.
