Wrapping it after being on the road

Just had run in service done, contemplating on getting paint protection, even it has tiny rock chip. The contact point on drivers door has shed at tiny amount, not easily noticeable.

Should I still continue with protection or nah?

Thanks for advice!

I would for sure. The installer is going to clean up and correct the paint as good as possible before install. If you don't do it now while the car still has low miles the paint damage will continually increase with use.

They might even be able to correct the rock chip enough before applying the film that it will be almost unnoticeable after installation. It doesn't cost you anything to get an estimate.

Get PPF now! Then you will not get more damage than you have today! Thank me later.

Highly recommend PPF! I have the entire front end covered along with rocker panels, A pillars, mirrors and partial roof.
