Default Road chips by the wheels

Anyone use the cleartastic protection film midamerica has? There are also clear mud flaps and clear nip chips. Can anyone recommend any of these products?

I used Cleartastic products on my 1979 and they worked very well. BTW they are a Forum sponsor. The nip chips are a waste of time and money. They simply do not fit.

My Cleartastics peeled off when I went on the freeway for extended periods of time. And isn't that the whole purpose of having Cleartastic? I didn't like them and after going through two kits at $50 a pop, I decided to go permanent with StonGard.

You can't see them. If installed correctly they do not come off.
