Stone Chips

[Peej]

Hi All,

My car seems to attract a few decent ones.. I've had them all touched up but was just curious, is rust really a potential problem? It's just i've always been told to get them touched up as soon as possible. Any opinions would be great.

Cheers.

I don't see them a big problem unless they have gone all the way through which one has on my bonnet. So I might see how much that will cost to fix up

Also on the topic of paint care are you's using Buffers or good old polishing cloths?

shouldnt need to buff.

You get good results from using a good ol hand polish like meguiars Xscratch. Can sometimes be a little sticky and hard to get off but it gives great results.

Then coat it with a nice few generous layers of wax. Meguirs tech wax is good

there is a guy in campbelltown that redid my tear in my bodykit and re-painted it and went all around my car and touched up all the scratch/stone chips on my car for 180......he gave me the CAN of paint afterwards as well..but the 180 was just for the TEAR and fixing ware the tear was.......
