If you normally only drive it around a city, you may rarely get into traffic going fast enough on roads dirty enough to kick up garbage.

If you're usually driving a lot of highway miles, it won't make any difference. Mine has several chips in the paint from all my highway driving, albeit most of them are from sharing rural two-lane highways with big trucks. The worst are flatbeds that are or have been carrying heavy equipment with treads, because they don't bother to hose those things off, and they just rain gravel on everything behind them. You're not as likely to drive into gravel rain in downtown USA.
