3M WRAP

Hey time for me to ask for all your help again. been trying to look it up online but there doesn't really seem to be an answer, does anyone know if 3M wrapping the doors of a veh would protect against door dings? or is it not worth it? any answers would be greatly appreciated thanks!

If you are talking about rock chips, yes. If you are talking about opening doors, no.

Buy something MADE to protect, like a clear bra or door moldings.

Depends on the velocity of the rock. I have plenty of spots in my hood protectant wrap that were torn by high velocity rock its. They look worse than the chips with their edges fluttering in the wind.

yea I meant more about opening doors, thought my best option would be molding but was really hoping there would be another alternative, not a huge fan on putting moldings on the doors>.<
