rock chips are inevitable. I gave up too. I just wanna enjoy my ride now =)

damn, I effing hate that bs. They should pay for that sh!t!!

:werd:

I gave up on caring about rock chips too.

Same here. I let go of some of my OCD about the chips and I sleep a lot better at night now.
It's not like I'm planning to enter my car in a concours.


I just figured out what you were talking about! :bowrofl:

+2, they also just tend to show in places that even the "mighty" clear bra can't protect. Everytime I wash the Z or the Max it seems like a find a new nick.:rolleyes:

That's what I hate about washing my car.

never move to alberta canada. rock chips all over. Nerxt car is gettign a complete wrap. The rockers on the FX are this plastic **** and it it all picked to **** too. FML. Dr. colorchip works great but when you need to buy it in 45 gal. drums it gets pricey

Go with Dr. Colorchip, do the best you can to fix it and then just enjoy your car. I was the same way, but no more! After the first couple I've learned to live with it and can tell you I enjoy my car a hell of a lot more now. On another note, after reading your post I'm glad I decided to forego the clear bra. Had I spent all that money only to end up with a chip would have made me crazy mad! I would contact the manufacturer of the clear bra and see what type of warranty it has against such a problem, if there is any warranty against this. Good luck.

I've found a new problem now. Apparently birds love to crap on my Z :mad:

Those bird doo doos are potent. It leaves a mark on the clear coat almost instantly.

Grrrr :mad:

I'm hoping the rain tomorrow will take care of it.

I know the feeln' all to well!

Dude! Please don't tell me you are leaving the birddoo on there over night :eek: That will eat away at your clear coat leaving permanent damage. I always carry several microfibers, a bottle of water, and detail spray for events like that. I know it's OCD but......

Say bu-bye to your clear coat in that area. My wife let bird crap sit on my car for two days. Took me a long time to get the etching from the poo out of my clear coat with a PC and swirl and haze remover.

Do yourself a favor and get a bottle of detail spray and a good microfiber cloth and leave it in you car for just these emergencies.

Kirkster, I feel your pain... wife did that on our daily driver too, and though using a PC or Flex (DA) will fix it up, what it inevitably is doing is grinding downing your clear coat to the lowest point of the etching created by the doodoo in the first place. So, technically, your clear coat can only take so much etching and buffing before you totally wipe out your clear coat....

I know it sucks, but what can you do :( I too have this problem. So whenever I get to my cars (leaving and arriving) in the parking lot, I always do a "walk-around", with microfiber and detail spray in hand to inspect for doodoo and door dings. OCD much? YES SIR!!! :)
