Can MOD5 TopShield paint protection films prevent all stone chips?

Many car owners assume that MOD5 TopShield paint protection films will stop all stone chips. This belief is not entirely accurate. While TopShield films are engineered to significantly diminish the impact of common road debris and substantially reduce the likelihood of paint damage, they cannot prevent every single stone chip, particularly from high-velocity or unusually sharp impacts. The film works by absorbing and dispersing the energy of smaller strikes, but extreme forces can still result in marks or, in rare cases, penetration. Understanding this helps set realistic expectations for the level of protection provided.
