Offroad paint protection

[TimmyG]

Whats out there that can offer some kind of paint protection when I take my truck into the woods?

Paint protection from the dealer , valued in the 600.00 range.

 

When you have light sratches you can get the whole truck buffed out too.

Just buy an atv for those outback trailes and save your truck!!!

There is no paint protection that can make your clear coat invincible and prevent dents. I think you need to buy a cheap pos trail truck.

My paint job is too far gone to save it, off roading, "silly" drivers, a couple of moves, 18 wheelers throwing rocks, and one light pole issue. However I'll second the 3M clear paint film.

If you buy a yamaha Rhino, or polaris Ranger...... you have rooom!!!

But you will have to buy a trailer to put it on.

 

The kids can drive it too.

Zeibart is going to do my truck when I'm done work in a couple days. Thye have a new improved version of the 3M stuff, that doesnt yellow. They told me its also self healing with warm water. In the demo they scratched a hood protected by the film with steel wool, then wiped it off with warm water and it was mint after. They have rocker kits, bumper kits etc. I'll post back once I get mine done.

Im gonna get that on mine when the paint gets too far gone to save.

A buddy of mint bought a four seat Polaris Razr so he could take his whole family riding and still throw a cooler in the back. Maybe look into one of those?

By my experience, when I have taken my trucks trail riding and come back with a bunch of new scratches the first thing I did was run through an automated carwash that used the brushes then take it to my detail guy for a full buffing and waxing.

I personally wouldnt take a new truck off road.. its just not worth it. as careful as you may be, there are so many ways to scratch and damage your truck offroad.

 

An old beater GMT400 or a 4 seater UTV like others have said sound like a good alternative for you.

Im convinced its not the woods that scratch the truck, its washing it. I run mine through the woods all winter long, splashing through mud and grime for 6 monthswithout washing (the truck not me), and I never see a scratch. Then, BOOM, after washing it in the spring, hundreds of scrathces just appear.

 

However they get there, I just give it a good wash, polish with Maguires Scratch-X, followed by Maguires Ultimate Compound, and finalize with a couple coats of wax. Shines like a diamond. It takes a good part of an afternoon, but it takes all of the paint imperfections out. The dents on the other had are a different story.

 

Personally, I do have a lifted golf cart for warmer weather, but its only a 2 seater. My dad just bought a 6 seater Polaris Ranger 800, and compared to his old Kawasaki Mule, that thing is nice. It rides like a dream, plus he doesnt have to worry about scratching his truck.
