What is the first sort of protection, including paint protection, you would give your brand new hellcat?

My car was 60 miles old before I took it in for clear bra/paint protection, ceramic coating, window tint and hood wrap.
I had paint protection done on the full front, mirrors, all fender flares for the wide body and rear fender from the body line down to the rear bumper. I will go with rock guards once I find a set I like. 9011BAA6-7851-4D5D-B02F-E653B1E73283.jpeg 5D34A309-F50A-4C85-AE71-2EC4C1246F6E.jpeg

Im looking at wrapping the same areas as yours with protective film. How much did that run you ? I think the all 4 flares and the front is mandatory

Thank you for your service.

the paint protection and wrap was 4K. You can probably find cheaper. This was a very high end shop in CA. I was quoted 8k to do the entire car.

I highly recommend a good ceramic coat as well. It will make washing etc very easy and most warranties are for at least 5 years.

Ceramic Coating a MUST!! you can do this now since you have barely any scratches and swirl marks..... highly recommend it. I WOULDNT get the RockGaurds from ZL1, I would get the Swaim Guards, they cover much more. http://www.activeexhaustsolutions.com/widebody.html
