Cool Under wing protection

Hi does anybody have an opinion on what if anything is needed to give protection from stone damage to the under wing areas i.e. to stop/prevent damage to paint finish from stone impacts. Just had paint work finished and thinking ahead to when i finaly get on the road.

no chance of fitting inner wings on the dax. I was going to bond some thin rubber pad that I have under the wing directly above the wheel and then use some spray on schutz (or paint on depending on how messy it is after the first wing) to protect the other bits and tidy it all up a little.

I have some high density, closed cell foam to glue on the undersire of my wheel arches, but I haven't got round to sticking it in yet.
This was supplied by Kirkham and is what they use on the cars they build.

I have just bought some Liquid Rubber that apparently stays flexible just like the Rubbercoat that was available a few years back, and can be brushed or sprayed on. Someone else on here has used it I recall from a similar post. 5 litre Tin quick service and OK to use on glass fibre substrates.

I was at Goodwood last Friday & there I noticed that on a couple of the original Cobras racing there they had glued high density closed cell foam to the underside of the wheel arches.
Having alloy bodies I suppose they are quite prone to stones thrown up by the wheels making small dents in the arches.

Agree with Paul and Roger, just bought some high density closed cell foam at Stafford Show (on RobinJ66's recommendation) looks like it will do the job.

Had previously used brush on rubberised gloop, still noisy over gravel etc.

Thanks all for the feedback, this was brought to my attention after the paint work was completed, on the effect of a stone hitting the underside of the bodywork causing damage to the paint work. Closed cell foam should offer the solution i need.
