Paint Protection for my Hilux

Post by TheGuvnor »

Hello mates! Any tips on how to best protect your car's paint when going to the bush often and having to deal with doringbosse and branches scraping the side of your bakkie? We do some hunting throughout the year and I make use of my Hilux for loading animals in remote spots in the bush...

I have heard of Amazing-Glaze in Centurion where they add a thin film to the car for R800...

Regards

Zac

Scotchgard paint protection film by 3m is a good product if you can find a dealer in your area.

The only thing that will protect your paint from scratches in the bush is the protective films they apply such as the VPS system but make yourself ready for a MO3RSE shock. R20 000 plus for a double-cab. The polishes on the market claims that it leaves a protective polymer layer on the paint and I don't dispute that it does but am quite certain that is not going to protect against thorns and bushes.
