I used to drive my show truck from state to state and I always used 3M collision wrap. Its a clear adhesive back film that I would cover the front and rear of the wheelwells. It was 36" x 100' and was around $60. I never got a rock chip through it once and would hold on a very high speeds. And don't worry because if it got wet it doesn't make it hard to peel off or doesn't leave a film on the paint.
