Track paint protection

[Sam3]

Do you use temporary paint protection film/wrap/tape for the track to protect against paint damage (rocks, pebbles, rubber chunks hitting the body work at high speed)?

I have a regular (non-temporary) PPF wrapping the front fascia/headlights and the black gloss trim (not including the hood and fenders). And I'm debating whether I should use a temporary wrap like XPel TrackWrap and Track Amour. The issue is the front facia of the Type R is overwrought and a pain to wrap and unwrap for each event. I'm inclined to just let the regular PPF get damaged and change it every couple of years.

Or may be cover fewer areas that get the most damage. In your experience, which parts of the Type R get the most track damage?

Full frontal Xpel PPF. Seems to have been more than sufficient for my various off track explorations. Temporary stuff might help clean up the car afterwards, but I've yet to get any chip damage that I've found.

FUll clear bra is like the ultimate way to protect paint. Otherwise, often times people just cover the vulnerable spots with blue tapes.

Full front XPel PPF including R badge, all trim, fogs, headlights, aluminium hood, b-pillars, lower sides, and the rear arches. Sure helps as there is a lot of rubber and crud flying around while on track.
