    Best Way to Protect Body?

    Hey everyone,

    Been reading these forums for some time, finally decided to join! I recently bought an X6 after owning a 3 series coupe for many years. While the x6 is an upgrade in many ways, the paint seems to be my biggest issue with it. Literally any time that I go to a public parking lot I leave with a paint chip, I have the Sophisto Gray colour and it takes the most minimum touch for paint to just chip off and leave a mark.

    So my question is: what is the best way to protect the paint? I have read about clear bras, ceramic protection, nano protection etc... I understand none of these would actually protect the car from a reckless child that would swing their car door open on my car, but is there something I can do to at least minimize damage?

    Any help is much appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Welcome on board :)

    The paint protection film (PPF) by producers like 3M or Xpel are you best bet against paint chips. Another approach is to get something called door-shox, these magnetic rubber pads have to be installed manually every time you park your car in the mall. But it acts as a barrier between your door and anything else in the parking next to you :).

      Thank you for the welcome and the feedback Wazif. Do you have any recommendations on a reputable place I could install PPF on my car?

      Door-shox sounds interesting, but knowing myself I would definitely forget to put them on every time I park, so PPF sounds like a better plan.
