Hey guys starting to go wheeling more in my truck and I'll definitely just have to live with some of the pinstriping, scratches, etc. But I'm curious what kind of paint protection you guys have? The truck is new to me, and my previous vehicles were all cars that never saw the dirt. In the car enthusiast world a lot of guys do ceramic coating. What's the go-to to protect your paint?

Ceramic coatings will not protect you from trail scratches. PPF will help, but will not totally eliminate the chance of scratching the paint. And of coarse, this is all dependant on how much off-roading you do, and how agressive you are blasting thru brush/trees, etc.
