Fu#k!ng black paint!!!
 

Decided to give my car a good clay, wash, and wax. When I was all done, I noticed several chips on the wheel arches, fenders, and hood. Now most of these are no bigger than the head of a pin, but there are many. I've just never had such difficulty taking care of a cars finish. Would it be wise to just touch these up and get the clear bra?

Black paint... that is your main problem. However every paint will get chips, the 370 for some reason is a rock chip magnet.

^^ and a rocking chick magnet

Do the touchup and clear ..... And pronto! It would be your best investment.

I have a black car with 12k on it and I have one small minor chip on the hood where the bra does not exist.

It get's worse, the side skirts get chipped as all hell. I'll take a pic tomorrow

I've been lucky as far as rock chips goes..but from washing at the car wash, there's many scratches that are very aggravating! But yes..I say do the touch up and do the clear bra. Will be very worthwhile for you. And btw.... black paint shows everything..just try and deal with that. It's very hard keeping a black car clean and flawless. I have atleast 10-20 scratches to touch-up :( Going to my body shop for those repairs.

^ washing at the car wash? :eek:

and a hit and run megnet

And according to some, a chick, truck, and evil cop magnet

Yea...:facepalm: I rinse off the brush first but aparantly it doesn't do any good. Been hand washing for a few weeks and no new scratches :)

White > Black

using a brush will cause swirls no matter how clean it is.

If you're picky, don't get black.

I was pulling out my hair cause just by looking at the car it'll scratch!

Thank god I wrote it off! :)
