Any knowledge out there on paint protector spray film??
Took my 1st road trip. Couldn't help be paranoid about fine chips. Looking for options for protection.

Unfortunately I waited about 15k miles before doing this so I've locked in some ugly bits but at least prevented any additional damage. As a bonus (to me probably equally as awesome) this makes the car incredibly easy to clean. You never need to apply wax.

I have Xpel and Opticoat on my entire car. If you're ever in Boston you're more than welcome to come check it out in person.
Also I highly recommend Rick @ Unique Car Care in Wakefield, MA as an installer. He is the best in Massachusetts and rated in the Top 9 in the US by Autoweek Magazine. www.uccboston.com Tell him Trevor with the WRB BRZ sent you. Also you can get multiple recommendations for him from this forum. @2forme, @ngabdala and several others have had their car done by him.

I have RoadBlock (clear bra) and Opti-Coat, holding up well so far. I've noticed a lot of light scratches accumulating near the door handles, which makes
me wish I got clear vinyl cut for the inner portion behind the handles.
