Default Any non-sprayon rubber rockguard products out there?

I have a clear bra on my car but that does nothing to help the lower front area from scraping damage on curb stops and parking lot entryways.. I would like something similar to the old Ford Duraguard rocker panel protector to put in the near invisible bottom of the spoiler area. It was a textured rubber product maybe 3/32 in thickness. Even if it takes a body man to install it is better than going through the hassle of paint work. I googled Duraguard and it appears to have disappeared. Any modern options, with or without texture for when a clear bra isn't quite enough?

I know someone who used this product on a Mustang with good results.... https://www.rustoleum.com/product-ca...nts/rock-guard

However, I personally would be apprehensive about using something from a spray can on my Lexus. Might want to check with a body shop for a more professional application.

I would just stay far away from the curb stops and go real slow at an angle when entering parking lot entryways.

Good luck!

^This is what I use in my shop. Any car that requires undercoat gets this. It can be brushed on, or rolled on, or bought in a spray can.

Great, thanks for the responses. Do you know if it would adhere to 3m or xpel then? I might still run 3m all the way down so I can peel the rustoleum off if I want a clean reapplication after damage,

as far as I know, it will bond to any surface.
