Picked up my car today; raining the whole way home. 140 miles so needless to say the car is filthy. The dealer said not to wash for 3 or 4 days so do I just leave the road grime on there?

It is plainly horses for courses. I have decided to go with doing the front end. The guy doing it noticed a few chips on the nose already, and will touch-up/polish before filming, and then ceramic coat the lot. I'm also fitting the Automotive Passion mudguards front and rear. I'm hoping that will give me the comfort properly to enjoy the car now!

I have learned over the years riding motorcycles here in New Jersey not to ride the dividing walls for the debris that flies up
is amazing and hitting you in face and not to ride behind jeeps or big trucks ...So with Emira limited driving and maybe
2000 miles a year on just nice days and more weekdays being retired ..So when I drive it I stay back approx 6 car lengths
and if behind a jeep or truck 10 lengths.....So far with 1000 miles not seeing anything.. I know behind the doors that will get some
stone chips for sure...I have used Dr Stonechip on wife's Mazda and have had very good results after 34,000 miles owning 5 years...
The Botton line to keep PPF looking good depending on your driving conditions..If you drive it every day no matter stone chips
on PPF or painted you are going to find chips ..And chipped PPF does not look good so how many times and cost to change.
I had a 2011 Evora bought used 4 yrs old with 42k mileage and omg was it chipped... Had shop repaint for 1200 dollars ..
But that guy drove it and I am not with Emira so have better chance if luck is on my side and it is luck with Debris flying..
So just saying over years a repaint may not be so bad .
Lets face it we all go different direction on protection...Enjoy Your Emira's
