Any advice or views on plastic films to avoid stone chips?

I have PaintShield full frontal protection, rear wings, inner wheel arches and inner sills, mirrors - really anything exposed. My car is GT Silver so grey rather than silver in the flesh and you can't discern the film eve close up. The protection is expensive but easy for peace of mind.

I am a polisher as well so I would struggle if I couldn't get a decent wax finish.

You can avoid stone ships with the product but I would suggest speaking to someone like PaintSheild for advice, it's easy with a grey/silver car as they are forgiving, darker colours, poorly fitted would be more obvious. I went direct to PaintShield rather than a franchise.

I have an easy way to keep the car protected and I can still wince at the odd ding without getting a scar on the car. I'm also protected a bit if some idiot keys the bonnet or front wings or grafitti etc,

Paintshield is a very good option, barely visible and offers great protection.
Will be going on my next car.
