Default stonechip protection

Hi

Just got my STI Hatch back from getting the sides freshener up as there was some stonechip.

Anyone know where I can get the clear film for the rear doors to protect them ?

Don't know but have seen a new sealer for the car that's meant to be very very hard to damage at all. Showed a clip of a guy smacking a lighter off the bonnet and could easily see where was coated as wasn't marking

Try here http://www.xpel.com/ if you are looking for a DIY kit.

Or something like here http://www.3mventureshield.co.uk/paint-protection-film/ if you want to have it professionally done.

I have a mixture of both on my Spec C and am well happy with the quality and protection it gives.

Definitely do it if you **** like me.

One thing though, these kits are supposed to be applied to factory paint, not sure how well the paint will hold when you wish to rip off the protection on a repainted panel.
