PPF Question

[Bulletbill]

My factory PPF on my rear fenders has gotten some good chucks taken out of it in the last year. It’s not bad, but definitely some gouging in it. I’m glad the PPF took the damage and not the paint but it made me wonder how well PPF holds up to heavy off-road use. Particularly in places like the NE with lots of shrubs and narrow trails.

As an alternative I am curious if any of you use smittybilt magnetic body armor?

I like the concept but I am unsure how it will hold up or stay on going through water, mud, and tight trails.

edit. Have any of you regretted getting PPF and why?

PPF is great for Arizona, Utah, and California, where the pinstriping tends to come from brush plants that are sharp but flexible. I’ve got full PPF and love it.

However, nothing is going to work against inflexible brush, like firm tree branches. PPF doesn’t work miracles. Between a hard aluminum door and a hard tree branch, something’s got to give. PPF will reduce the damage, but can’t prevent actual gouging of a panel. Same with a hard door ding.
