Pesky stonechips

[TR4man]

Just had the front valance, bumper and bonnet sprayed as a result of stonechips and I'd like to keep it pristine.

Can anyone recommend any sort of clear film, wrap or even a wax which will protect a car from stonechips?

Xpel film or Sunteck - both are self-healing from scratches.

There is a guy in Cardiff who will do both - cheaper than the normal Xpel installer further NW.

SunTech has a smoother top coat, Xpel Ultimate is a bit thicker. Both are better than the 3M Ventureshield.

whatever you have put on, you need to wait a good while before doing so - at least 6-8 weeks

The adhesive can react with the fresh paint. Solvents in the paint will still be gassing off for a while. Just drive sensibly and avoid motorways etc. You will be fine

Paintshield.

They use xpel. Paintshield are the most expensive on the market and then some...

That said they do fantastic installations
