    Anyone used Chipex for stone chips?

    How easy is it to replace the stone guard film that surrounds the rear wheels on a 2010 CLS and any ideas how much they are. The film on the lower side skirt is a bit frayed in places now so if possible I would like to remove and replace with a new one? Thanks
