There is no greater protection for your vehicle from rock chips, UV, and washing than Paint Protection Film.  It's an 8mm Film that is designed to take a beating.  If you are looking for a long lasting Satin Paint job that won't break the bank or be inconsistent in the finish, this is the best way to go, hands down.  This particular film has a 7-10 year lifetime which outlasts vinyl by a ways and the impact protection is unsurpassed.
