If you drive the car for even 1 mile on the road before getting PPF, you are opening yourself up to potential rock chips. That's why I never do it. If you absolutely must drive it, stay off the freeway and don't follow anyone too closely.

You sound as OCD as me! Here is a pick of mine all protected before I drove almost 400km to get the PPF/ceramic applied. I applied the yellow frog tape gentle painters tape which leaves no residue- it was my shield against rock chips for the drive there. Worked like a charm
