Default Ceramic coating and rock chips

For those with ceramic coating on your Lexus has it reduced rock chips on the hood and front bumper? I'm trying to figure out if getting the Suntek wrap on the hood and front bumper is worth the additional cost.

Thanks,
Vince

Ceramic coatings will have NO effect on rock chips or other damage caused by impact of any kind.

Paint protection film (such as the suntek film you mentioned) will prevent rock chips and most scratches from damaging your paint. If i had a new vehicle that was rock chip free, I would absolutely invest in a full front end wrap.

Absolutely NOT. Get a clear bra.
