Why Does the Front of My Car Get So Many Rock Chips on the Highway?

Every rock, piece of asphalt debris or loose gravel a car ahead of you kicks up travels at highway speed, and the front-facing panels of your car, the hood, bumper, mirrors and front fenders, take the impact. A single chip through to bare metal or the base coat is a small repair. Dozens of them over a year of highway driving turn into a hood that looks pitted even when the rest of the car looks fine. Paint Protection Film is a clear, self-healing film applied to the front end that absorbs those impacts instead of the paint underneath it, and it's the standard way to stop this kind of damage before it happens rather than touching up chips after the fact.
