Rock chips, pits in bumper...
 

I am at a loss here... bought my 40th with approx 14k on it and there were not more than 2 or 3 rock chips (very slight) anywhere on the car... I have had it for approx 2k miles and have noticed another 6 at least. Obviously I am doing something wrong here... Car is garaged kept and I don't drive overly aggressively, on dirty/damaged roads, or follow trucks closely.

Just recently clay barred the entire car (wow what a dif) and I frequently wash wax. I wash it at least 1-2x a week and generally try to keep my hands off the paint by using a mild pressure nozzle with a soap adapter and a leaf blower.

Really my question is how can I clean up the front bumper. Has there been any success in removing some of that raised paint on your average chip? I think that is the worse part... looks like a mini-meteor hit my car haha.

I'm def over-reacting but the softness of our paint really gets to me.

Man, you have it good. Mine has at least 10x more chip marks. Dr. Colorchip worked good on concealing them, but they are still noticeable. I get rocks and all sorts of crap everywhere in my city.

Agreed on the softness!! I thought it was just me, but I was like damn that scratched pretty fast. . .

Man, i really try to stay away from other cars. keep my distance. It has paid off. My black 2009 has really nothing to speak of BUT I do have a clear bra. I also dilegently use a all in one cleaner/polisher and Meguires Ultimate detailer evrytime i come in. I normally dont drive it during rush hours as i have a daily driver.

matt- sounds like you might be a great candidate to install a clearbra. :)

sorry to hear about your chips. i have 2 now on my bumper. :crying: tiny ones so i dont really care. :D hahaha. but will fix later. :crying:

Yep already working on the clear. Prob is I don't just want the half panels because of the line so I'm looking at 1k.
