    Hey guys - just got myself a 2023 TRD Off Road. Do ceramic waxes [such as meguiars hybrid liquid ceramic] provide any protection against pin-stripes, or rock chips? Looking for any recs on exterior products that I should consider!

    No coating will unless its like a clear wrap film and that will scratch. It won't scratch the paint unless you go through the film. Been detailing for 38 years and if you find a product let me know.
