Thanks all for the inputs. With your inputs and my on-line research, I'm beginning to think the Clear Bra ... XPEL Ultimate self healing or the 3M Scotsguard may be the answer. But didnt realize the expense involved. Maybe the best is to drive the car and let it gain character with the rash, pits and dings and then do a front end paint if I ever decide to sell,,,, which won't be for a long time!
Gofastoldguy... I may have an interest in your suggestion at streetrodpainter.com I see you live in the PHX area, so you are familier with the find sand rash....
Appreciate the info
