Halfway up the hood, fenders, bumper, grill, mirrors and the cups under the door handles. Pretty much that would be effected from flying rocks. This is sixth (?) vehicle I have done this to and absolutely love it. Expensive but worth it. You have to look very, very close to tell it has been installed.

I started doing this when I lived in Louisiana as they have a nasty little insect called "love bugs" whose guts will actually etch the paint.

it definitely seems worth it. Did you get the entire car ceramic coated after the PFP? I was looking into the and it seems people like the brand xpel.

Sorry to see your having so much paint woes. I’ve got the deep blue paint too and although there’s a little wear... it still looks pretty good at 30k miles. No special treatment, except having some guys hand wax it occasionally

Aside from a few annoying rattles when it’s cold... it’s been very good to us so far

Thanks :/ i can't wait to be rid of it lol. I have heavily debated waiting to see what the 2021 brings, but i'm not sure if I can get myself into a 3rd one. And yes, the rattles when it is cold is very annoying. My entire dashboard rattles when its freezing. My car rattles in general as a whole too. The creaking is back again when turning and such.
