Question RC350 Paint Protection?

Anyone noting any abrasions to paint on rocker panel area or the lower rear quarter panels?
These areas seem exposed to grit thrown off the wheels. I'd like to protect these areas proactively.

Put on XPEL or a 3M paint protection film.

I've got the 3M on the front. Trying to find out if I need it anywhere else.

I would think that since the tires spray out over the lower rocker panels, and the rear lower part of each fender that is where you would want to put it. Since you are in MN do you sometimes drive on unpaved roads as that might be a reason to get it for those areas?

Are you seeing any evidence of tire spray damage on your vehicle?
Gravel roads are not my concern.

I'm not seeing anything other than when it rains, but no road rash.
