I have noticed another problem more than ever. The stones, gravel and tarmac that has come out of the potholes!

There seems to be so much of it on the roads, and all I hear is little stones and chips flicking around my wheel arches. The problem is worse by the car in front of you (people can't seem to stay in the lane these days) if it goes off line and flicks up all the chips and stones lying just off the usual line or in the middle of two lane!

Anyone else notice it?

That’s funny you should mention this. I was just thinking it the other day. The street round the corner from my house feels like a tonne of broken tarmac has been scattered over it.

I totally agree with you, thats why the new car is away for full PPF. It is like driving through a sandstorm with stones thrown in for good measure. This is really noticeable with artic lorries overtaking and throwing everything up in the air from the roadside and open potholes that they pass over.
I realise that the PPF may not totally save the paint but i had the GT4 done with it and after 3.5 years it was still immaculate.
