I had my truck "protected" with Xpel film recently. I was looking forward to the protection I read it provides and thought highly of the product after reading many reviews.
I have to say I am really let down. My truck has 7k on it. Wheels and tires went on at 1500-2k. +18 offset 35x12.50s. This past weekend I was at a ski resort and they had gravel everywhere. I drove very slow, and tried to avoid high speeds on the gravel.
When I left the resort and was on pavement, I drove slow initially - and then I continued to hear rocks being ejected from the treads for the next 20+ minutes. I had hope that they PPF would do what it was supposed to. I have easily 25 good chips in the rockers. Right through the film, on some places chipped the paint under the film. My rear flares have 2-4 chips on the front edge through the paint and damaged the plastic flare. I am not happy. I had +18 with bushwhacker pocket flares on my last Ram 2500. I wanted to stay stock flares this time.
I am really debating going back to stock wheels with my 35x12.50 ridge graps.
I knew the chips would happen. Didnt expect so many so fast
