Defender Off-road Paint Protection

Hi all, I’m exploring options for paint protection on my L663 Defender. I’ve headed out on greenlanes and picked up a few car-length scratches, nothing that a good detailing wouldn’t remove but I would like to protect the paint from any more severe scratches.

If anyone has experience with a great installer, the particular product name, and pricing that would be great!

Thanks

I'd be interested in the responses to this as well, for the same reasons. 2023 Defender D300 HSE in Pangea Green

I recommend the Xpel Ultimate Plus 10 installed by a licensed installer. It's self-healing (in the hot sun or with a heat gun), and the 10 is their thickest (10 mils) film for off-road vehicles. You can usually choose shiny or stealth (matte) and add a ceramic coat over the top for ease of cleaning and to keep nasty tar/grease off of it.

I have Xpel PPF Ultimate plus. The lack of stone chips on the front is remarkable. 22MY Defender 110 D300 S in Pangea Green and Contrast White Roof

So you are telling me that you can get ppf that is 1 cm think?! How would that even work? MY25.5 110 OCTA First Ed. P635

Sorry, 10 mils, so 0.25mm.

I am in Suffolk and have been requesting quotes from installers in the locality from the Xpel website. So far quotes are £2500 ("draft quote") to £4000 for a L663 110.
