ARB Bumper, SOS sliders, SOS rear bumper, SOS skid plate. OME Lift. Some other stuff.

Would like to get some thoughts on this. Anybody have any experience with the product or anything similar?

My clearcoat is showing the very early signs of failure and I'm looking at options to protect it before it gets bad.
