Clear film
The 3m is a great product.
Just a bit of trivia if I may. When we deployed to Saudi Arabia in Desert Storm 17 years ago we had nothing on the blades of our AH-64 Apaches and the blades were getting ate up. In less than a few weeks the blades had to be replaced.
The leading edges were just disintegrating!
A contact team came over and applied a clear film strip (similar to 3m) to the leading edges of the main rotor blades and it was amazing. We really never had to change another blade in 8 months.
I don't know who made the film but I think the principle is the same. The dirt and abrasives just bounce off. I don't know what the speed of the blades were in MPH but probably faster than your normal driving.

I like Plexus. All Motorcycle dealers sell it. Was developed for fighter jet canopys. Non abrasive cleaner/protectant. Works great on both sides of the transparent top too. You can actually use it instead of wax on the whole car, it protects clear coats. Try it, you won't be dissapointed.
