glass bumper protection from debris

Area around wheel well getting bad due to wheel debris. Anything special I could spray on there to minimize the deteriorating effect? Thanks in advance.

I guess you want the flat-black look.

you could put some clear-bra material on the fiberglass, it would gloss it up a bit, I expect. also, I've seen some new spray-on clear bra kits, 3m, even armor all has them......or plasti-dip clear or black might offer more of a debris-resistant coating

You can get matte finish clear bra film if you want the flat look. If you track the car I would apply 2 layers of the standard ~ 8mil. film and plan to replace fairly frequently.

You can also use a sprayable undercoating such as Wurth SKS. Just mask at the body/wheel edge line for a clean look.
This would be more durable and is paintable.
Same way Porsche did them originally.

If you like the matt black, go with plastidip for both the look and a bit better protection compared to thinner paint.

Thanks for the suggestions!!! I'll probably go with plastidip.
