    rock chips and paint protection

    I will be driving my car on back country roads often.

    They are not new pavement or even clean pavement.
    I keep a good distance from cars in front of me to protect the front of the car from chips.


    I am going to be putting PPF (Xpel brand clear film) on the back bottom behind the tires and the lower portion of the pontoons in the front. Im also thinking the portion of the car in front of the rear tires that widens.

    I will be applying the film myself.


    Where all have you guys protected your paint? What other areas should I plan to get rock chips and apply film now to my freshly painted car? I was considering mud flaps for the rear also. anyone done something like that? perhaps ones I can remove easily when I go to a car show.

    I once saw an older mustang pull into a car show with temp mud flaps. The flaps were some type of plastic sheet and they were held onto the rear fenders with small spring clamps.

    One of my brothers had a 70 Mach 1 and he did just what Doug is saying. He used the large spring style paper clamps used to hold documents such as contracts etc
