Magnetic Sheets for Trail Protection
I saw a Jeep with these magnetic sheets for protection against off-road scratches, and his paint was nearly perfect after years of wheeling. Not to mention, he had cool graphics on the protective sheets.
Anyone know who makes these? I'd love to have a set with a custom color or scheme on them. My paint is in great shape, but I've been wheeling nervously, trying to avoid even small branches. I'm sick of that, so these look like the solution.
I know, I know, it is a Jeep. However, I've managed it this far, and have never run it through a car wash with brushes. most washes have been by hand with a microfiber mit, and the paint still looks like new.
Any help in finding a source for these would be appreciated!

I've always thought the magnetic sheets would trap particles of dust and create fine scratches. I use 3m venture shield and it works like a champ! My rig eats a lot of branches, and scratching buffs right out....it's not cheap, but it's great permanent protection.

As for stories to tell, my rear bumper could write a whole book of them. I'd still like to check these out. I may go to a local graphics place, but I'd rather buy from a company that has already got them cut to fit. That would save me some time/effort. I work so many hours, I don't have time to do it.

Magnetic protectors
The Trailskinz are great and come in some neat colours but I just made my own patterns up and cut them out of white auto grade magnetic sheeting. Cost me about $130 in materials. Flashed them up with some stickers Only put them on when wheeling and keep the JK well waxed.
Have had them at 100km/hr in torrential rain and they stay on fine.
