Kevin, I'm hung up on the 'protective film', maybe I missed it in the thread. Can you back that up and explain what, where, and how. Pics of the finish are just outstanding. Thanks.
Protective Film is a clear, thin, layer of 3M (or other brand) film that lays over the paint, helping protect it from rock chips, boot scrapes, etc.
I have the film on the front of the rear fenders extending to the midway point on the top. This is for rock chips and boots. On the side covers for passenger boots. On the body between the side panel and the fenders for rock chips and boots.
This thin layer of film will protect the paint from most rock chips, scrapes, etc. It is not visible, except for the edges, and only when you get up close and look for them.
The reason I put ceramic over it is when bugs get splatterd on the film, just like the paint, it can take some time to clean them off. The ceramic makes them much less likely to stick, AND if they do, it is much easier to clean them off.
The ceramic also adds a little extra protection, and makes it look much nicer.
