I understand some people want to protect their cars as much as possible while driving them as much as possible and tracking them often. What are your thoughts on protective film?
I am of the mind set screw it, it's a $78,000 car (not inexpensive, for me anyway) but I am going to drive it off the lot and drive it with zero protection. I am willing to accept the fact that it's going to get chips and nicks. I plan on tracking the car 2-3 times a year if I am lucky. Reality says I will be lucky to go once a year.
I don't mind if the car shows some wear from usage. After all, it ain't a show car. I know trying to keep it pristine will only end in disappointment. Not that I will go out of my way to get the first blemish, but having the mind set it is going to happen eventually, maybe makes it easier to accept when it does?
Just my take on protective film.
