It is my understanding by reading reviews etc. that that stuff only lasts one year and will not protect against chips very well. That's not my opinion based on experience with it, just what I had read. Anyhow, I have the 3m paint protection "film" with a 5 year guarantee on my Yaris. The paint has not not faded any differently than without the film, it has not turned a different color after years of use and can be very easily removed if so desired without damaging the paint. I have 54000 miles on my 2010, all freeway which is worse for chips, and my car looks like the day I purchased it. Vey good stuff.

I'm sorry modern paints are crap, 6 years in and my roof is peeling and yes it was washed and waxed. I have had 30 yr old cars that the paint was better on. Since I plan on keeping the car I am actually going to have to spend the money on getting it recoated which really really, really pisses me off. Econo car or not toyota cheaped out on the paint and won't stand behind it.

While this may be good for bird shit...I have seen nothing that states that it will resist stone chips.
