Maybe all you need is to get your car waxed (you can either do it yourself, or you can get it professionally done by a detailer). My car has gotten smacked by rocks on multiple occasions while driving over the past few years. And I've never gotten any chips as a result. Car wax really does put on a protective barrier. Yes, it's true it's unavoidable that a car will get chips over time. However, the goal is to minimize it, so you don't need to accept it as inevitable.

So true, only thing is with paint protection I think they dont like you to put wax on top - shall have to find out. I am happy to have her detailed in that way - but I dont think it is an option once paint protection is applied.
