need help: How to Protect Rocker panels?

yanks1 · 02-16-2022, 08:45 PM

Hi, Finally picking up my M240 this Saturday & little concerned about the rocker panels not being body colored. How best can I protect these black high gloss panels from getting marked up?

Any easy protectant I can purchase at local auto store this weekend?

thanks!! any suggestions are welcomed

Got mine covered in ppf for around $300. Full side skirt and the door well

thanks, but that's not an easy task for me working full-time. Have to find a local shop to do that

You could purchase a consumer grade ceramic coat from Amazon, but PPF would be best. I bought a bottle of CQUARTZ UK 3.0 for anything not getting ceramic coated by the shop.
