The clear film is the best investment you can make in the car if you have a high dollar paint job IMO
About 2weeks after painting and cut and buff I did my complete nose about 2/3 up to hood opening, tops of doors down about 4" on sides (mainly to protect from side curtains), spats on rear fenders and bottom of rear fenders.
40K miles later still looks like it came out of the paint shop a week ago. Sure, if you look real close you can see some marks in the film, but NO paint chips. I do all my vehicles with clear as soon as I get them. I have a 2001 gmc p/u with 200K and no paint chips or rust on the hood.
Best stuff ever.
