I live in the Greater Toronto Area. Neither my C6 nor my C7 had protection and the front, including the hood and side mirrors, of both cars had numerous small chips in the paint. Both cars looked good as the chips were small and not a particular distraction. However, I hand wash the car and the chips were very visible to me. One or two were right through the paint and quite visible. The chips were all from the same source - driving on 400 series highways with cars all around; both sides and in the rear. At about 120 km per hour sudden braking or lane changes are not an option. When a dump truck hits a road seam and a clump of mud falls off and hits the pavement, a spray of bouncing pebbles is often the result. You can't avoid them and they can cause chips. Every now and then the pebbles are large enough to chip off a good chunk of paint or put a crack in the windshield. I'm hoping the PPF will eliminate the paint chips.

[QUOTE="DABFCPA, post: 245744, member: 6835"] I live in the Greater Toronto Area. Neither my C6 nor my C7 had protection and the front, including the hood and side mirrors, of both cars had numerous small chips in the paint. Both cars looked good as the chips were small and not a particular distraction. However, I hand wash the car and the chips were very visible to me. One or two were right through the paint and quite visible. The chips were all from the same source - driving on 400 series highways with cars all around; both sides and in the rear. At about 120 km per hour sudden braking or lane changes are not an option. When a dump truck hits a road seam and a clump of mud falls off and hits the pavement, a spray of bouncing pebbles is often the result. You can't avoid them and they can cause chips. Every now and then the pebbles are large enough to chip off a good chunk of paint or put a crack in the windshield. I'm hoping the PPF will eliminate the paint chips. [/QUOTE]
