Paint film protector

Paint film protector
I am looking for the best film protector to protect my front bumper and hood from chips from road debris. Can anyone offer some tips or their experience with these products. I understand BMW's have a tendency to suffer more road chips than most cars. My dealer uses a spray on protector that I know doesn't work well. Any help would be appreciated.

Funny, maybe you know a shop that can attach a snow plow. I had a serious question not a joke

I don't see an icon...just a hypertext link. Who logs out anyway? Just close the browser window.
