Only 120 miles on my Base and I drive it as of now like a yugo, and everytime I come back from my 3 mile journey these rocks are in the skirt.

My rear quarter panels right between the door and fender have a lot of small rock chips at 2500 miles. Even with the JLT blockers but they do help.

I was gonna put some xpel wrap down on the rear 1/4 in front of the tires to hopefully mitigate some of the rock damage I have been hearing about. The blockers are a good idea as well.

You don’t want to know

I had my Xpel installer cut a custom piece that goes from the rocker panel all the way up to the character line above and in front of the tires. That area takes a lot of hits from junk thrown back from the front tires.

Xpel has a kit called the "impact area" which is the area you described. This area is the most vulnerable paint area on our cars. In other words this area is receiving impact from your tires 100% of the time.

I wonder if the impact area is thicker material

So what's the crowd favorite right now? Xpel, Hexis, Suntek? I understand they each have different levels of texture on them - which is the least/most texture?
