between using the car and having stone chips and just babying it....you did the right thing. call it patina.

foiling is a great option. it saves you from stone chips and scratches.

I have been doing full wraps on all my cars for years.

if you don't want to do the whole car, definitely cover the areas that are exposed the most.

imo a resprainted car holds less value than a car with stone chips.
