Clear Paint Protection Film

I am curious about this as well, what is anybody using to protect the finish from rock and other debri chips

@PaViper, go check this out:

so the protection film only comes in black?

Well, that particular product only comes in black, although there is some discussion of experimentation with colors and clear. However, as I understand it, the colored and clear material is not as durable as the black.

Keep in mind, that's only one solution, and it's not the same as the original post/question in this thread.

I just saw this, I am primarily concerned with long trips that entail a lot of highway driving....this stuff isnt pretty but might be good for traveling to shows and events etc

The kit that I sell is a super thick black textured material that looks very similar to the black plastic parts on the front and hood. It can take some serious abuse. I have 5 of those kits ready to ship....

I had used a similar film kit on my first Mini Cooper. At first I liked it because it was very transparent and fit like a charm. After awhile though, even the film was getting chipped and there was no way to use touch-up paint without it looking terrible. Another thing I didn't like about it was, when ever I waxed around it there was a white build up of dried wax around the edges of the film. Not a big deal, but took more work to finish waxing.
It probably is great stuff for the occasional gravel road, but I live on a gravel road plus put about 50k miles a year on my vehicle. The two Mini's I have now don't have it on, and they look better than the one that did.

Hey, I think I figured out your problem....you have Minis. Get a truck!

too funny since my wife and I both have Mini's as well!

I do have a GMC pickup, and I have to admit, it does pull my fifth wheel alot better than my Mini's. But I'd rather pay for 50k miles per year, using the Mini's milage as opposed to the pickups. Can have it both ways!
