So it looks like my car has a ton of rock chips in the bumper. Has anyone else experienced similar issues? If so did you do touch-up yourself or did you have a shop do it?

I've got some but not to the point yet where I want to touch it up yet (I'll wait for more, lol). I've done some touch-up before with pretty good results on a previous car, but it involved the touch-up paint, sandpaper to level, and a DA polisher with different polishes and pads. Got great results though.


On a related note, I do have some small dings I need to get out. Need to look at dent removal options.

I have a several places up here that do non-paint dent removal for like $80/panel. I tried touch-up paint once on a different vehicle and didn't realize it took all the other effort. I just put it on and it was all thick and gloopy, looked terrible. I tried to take it back off and it just kinda... smeared. I wasn't really happy to say the least. I figure the poor front bumper and diffuser area (is it a diffuser?) is just going to get them naturally over time. I have a few but nothing you can notice from any real distance.

If I do keep my car though I was thinking about getting it wrapped. I know Jersey Jake used to do that but he's not active anymore. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

My bumper is getting to the noticeable state, the salt from last winter just went to town on it. Ill post a pic later on. If I do get it fix I was thinking on wrapping the bumper in Xpel.
