G37 Wrap

Getting my car wrapped soon. I was wondering if I could put glossifier on my front bumper to protect the wrap from rock chips. Would it be too noticable? I'm just worried that I'm going to have to constantly go to my repair guy to fix little rock hole damages. Anyone know about wrap maintainence?

I'm in the process right now of vinyl wrapping my entire car satin black and believe me when I say you do not want to put Plasti Dip over vinyl wrap its pointless you might as well pay half the price of vinyl wrap and just plasti dip your entire car instead. Vinyl wrap is actually pretty durable towards rock chips a lot more than plasti dip in my opinion and from what I have learned through this entire process.

In for pics, hopefully it goes well, have you done a car wrap before? I've done several vinyl projects including a half dozen grills, but that front bumper just keeps me from trying to go any further, lol

It's taking longer than anticipated but hopefully will have pictures up by this weekend or early next week the latest. The shop I have at it does amazing work and I grew up with the owner so he's been letting me help with a lot of the work so I gotta say so far so good! We're doing alot of work at once including the vinyl wrap.
