Did anyone get rock chips on their hood? I did. Best way to remedy that??
Shows you're a veteran of Dragon runs. After about 2 years, you just get the hood and fenders repainted.
Ken is correct ....!!! Then get a good paint job....and head directly to the "Clear-Bra" shop....

Looking like I'll finally get my redone late this fall...... then let it sit for a month or two, and get a clear bra put on.....

Been talking about doing it for a couple of years, time to pull the trigger!

My front lip looked like it was sand blasted and there was a 3 inch groove from a rock on my hood. Three years ago I had the front clip repainted and a XPEL clear bra installed. It still looks great. Larger marks that would have been nicks are only in the clear bra not the paint. The tiny ones actually heal themselves. The headlight covers still look new. Now if someone would come up with a coating for the windshield I might be able to see thru it when the sun shines thru! I'm due for a replacement.

I looked at your car and didn't see any. Couldn't even justify adding the free Dragon flaps.

After the rain storm Thursday, the obvious paint chips are almost negligible. Gues it was dirt/mud from the drive??

Those are my favorite kind of "rock chips," the ones that wash off
