Does anyone make a good product that protects the side of your rig from scratches or dents?

There has been one solution for the scratches but not dents...The solution is to avoid the bushes and be a better driver..LOL ...No seriously there has been some people that has put the clear 3M film on the sides of the truck when they go offroading

Here is a site for your protection question.  I found this on another site.   http://www.magnetking.com/  Have no experience with this but I hear it works good.

Yes, I heard of it! but there is a new product coming out that doesn't need Tape to secure it.  It's called "HTN Body Armor" it's in development and should be out in the next couple weeks.

I like the name alone!!! Those Fender flares take a wallop with flying mud and rocks, can't wait to see them after a Maine winter full of snow, sand and salt!!!

On a related note; just got my H3 washed and the fenders, front bumper and grill still had mud spots all over it, not to metion the wheel wells being sprayed with mud!!!  WTF!!!

I've seen the product Justin is talking about.  It has possibilities.  I would like to see some actual test.

I think the 3M film is a great product for protecting against bug and rock chips. If your trying to avoid dings and deep scratches offroading, this will not surfice. I would like a product I can take off and put back on in minutes and protect the paint from more than just minor chips, scratches and bug juice.

I am very pleased on the performance of the product while at Shiloh Ridge! I was able to go through some heavy mud and water, powerwash it and drive down the freeway at 85MPH without any issues or blow off. The completed product will be finish by the middle of this month. H3 kits should be done by the end of the year.
