Track no use 1 la

Public roads Touge maybe.
But if you unlucky you get bigger stones, or constantly pelted by members with sticky tires, also same useless PPF will be destroyed

On bigger gravel, paint itself can be intact. However bumper still gets dent mark.

I got a couples. Won't know actual impact until replace the PPF.
PPF eliminate the paint chip on bonnet thought.

I notice Glasurit paint is really good. I have Glasurit clear coat on my carbon spoiler, no ultra fine micro scratches despite I casually wipe it with cloth over 3 years+.

Sticky tires are moster. I'm smashing my own car. Gravel stones are accumulating on some rear bumper trims.

I know certain cars to keep at certain distance from. High chance RE-71RS or Cup2. Those are usually driven very fast anyway. Quite fun to listen their "civil war" story, smashing each other during group outing. Lol...

Depends your definition of bigger. Sepang sizes no way paint survive, unless maybe those costing 5 figure paint like Glasurite (top tier models) that generally only used on conti cars and definitely not on your usual P1 P2 T&H/Japanese
My car paint all damages until the base coat (no rust)
But some of the front roof and fender down to bare metal until rust showed. Front Bumper about half shaved until bare plastic.

This year end finally got to respray entire car from UMW Toyota Lexus Melaka, quoted 5.5k .
Long overdue pending since 2019 since very limited budget all the time sad.gif

Smashing is all fun and games until that windscreen gets a bullseye or straight up crack laugh.gif
You'll wiser up in a hurry to either overtake quickly or stay further behind

My bigger means you can hear sound of gravel hitting the bumper, not sure exact size probably >1cm.

I have a couple spots, with 8mil Xpel PPF, paint is intact but bumper still get a dent. So info for TS on this topic, PPF is not perfect, depends on how extreme is the usage

5.5k is not the cheapest, probably mid grade. Quoted 2k for old corolla never heard of brand paint, not even using PPG.

I heard Toyota/Lexus/Mazda usually got water based eco friendly paint from PPG. Salesman blow water source, not sure how true.

Yes, many kena windscreen cracked. So it was FK8 outing with few GTR join in.
Those modded kaw kaw elite were far in front. The experienced casual members stayed behind.

The new kaki with standard car tried to keep up with the 1st tier, learned the hard way. bangwall.gif
