Well after a fresh deep down buff and polish this weekend. I had the pleasure of catching a nice rock bath courtesy of a dump truck with a bed full of loose stone on the highway today. So much damage done, chips all over my windshield and more! I should’ve done PPF....?

Yeah....but unfortunately no. I was on my way to a job and couldn’t follow the truck...well, drive beside the truck for that matter. I wish I had a dash cam. So pissed!

Call your insurance and ask to see if they'd cover such damage. I'm not sure if you'd be considered "at fault". I remember when my windshield cracked due to a single rock I wasn't considered at fault, so the damage was completely covered and my rates didn't go up. I did learn that if the rock hit the ground before it hit my car, it might not be covered.

Might be useful to invest in some PPF if you get the paint damage fixed. Keep in mind that after 2¼ years of daily driving my Type R, it looks like yours does in terms of paint damage. Rock chips all over the front, front H and Type R trim pieces, and even along the rear doors and quarter panels. Rock guards can help prevent the ones on the rear doors and quarter panels.
