rock chips, hrmmmmmm

[sflemon]

Okay, I claybar, wash, wax, buff probably once a month, and wash weekly, the car that is.:D

Wash: Meguires
Claybar: Meguires
Wax: Zymol or Mothers
Buff: Random orbital, minimal heat build up pad

Problem is, rock chips in mainly the hood and front quarters show up like a mo-fo compared the rest of the shiny blue goodness.

At anything equal or further than 10 feet, you can't tell.

Within 10 feet, in my opinion, it looks like ASS. And not good ass, the kind of ass that looks like it's been........use your imagination.......

Recommendations on helping reduce appearance of rock chips?

[Vampire Cockroach]

use a clear bra

Will the clear bra make the ones I already have not seem so visible?

It's almost like they're white in the blue paint, so they show up badly when the car is very clean.

Could be a buildup of wax/polish/claybar in the chipped area....

[Vampire Cockroach]

clear bra won't cover those up... but it'll prevent new ones of course

The best way to cover up the ones you have right now is either get a respray or some OEM touch-up paint and dab it over the chips. It won't look perfect, but should look better than it is right now

I just gave up on all my rock chips a long time ago, lol

You're right. I get bored easily and wash the car to pass the time.

Or do random stuff like the headliner.

Thanks for the tips guys.

Yessir, I've been there... Can't hurt to wash the car, but I wouldn't be too keen on overusing that clay bar.
