Stone Shield?
After doing some midwest trails my JK's gotten it's fair share of "trail rash". On a black JK it REALLY shows up. While I can take it and have it buffed out that's a temporary fix to the problem.
I've given thoughts to having the whole thing covered in that "stone shield" material. For those who've not seen it it's basically a clear plastic film that's adheared to the body of the vehicle creating a translucent plastic "shield". It was originally designed for luxury cars and such to prevent rock chipping. I have no problem with rock chipping but I'm getting tired of a small branch creating streamers down the side of my JK.
What do you guys think?

I've heard it's pretty nice but pretty spendy as well. What's it going to be like tho after you rip one pretty good? I just can't see that stuff standing up to a long overgrown trail. But maybe I'm wrong....

Stoneshield is part of what I do everyday. Let me say that it will not help with deep scratching. The material doesn't resist light scratching but will help stop deaper scratches. That said if you get a big enough branch it could go thru the material. It is pricey but far cheaper than repainting. Here in Calgary we sell it for @$10 a square foot just for the material.

It depends on how they install. it. I have had it on 2 cars and now my jeep and the one on my jeep they heated a conrner a little much and you can tell by looking at the material. I haope you don't pay someone to buff your jeep. They make good wax and other material anyone can do it at home.
