Front Bumper rock chip removal
What is the best way to hide the front bumper road divots. It is just the standard pebble hits.
I did some polishing with a Torq 10FX, Yellow foam pad and Menzenra 2400-3500 and it seems to have made it more noticeable than before, then I tried a Gray foam and Menzerna SHCC 300 and still no difference.
I don't want to go any deeper. I figure now the only solution is to have the whole front bumper repainted, and then in a year or 2 it will be more of the same.
If there isn't a trick to get rid of them I just have to live with it.
They are only on the front bumper, nothing on the fenders or hood.

you can wrap the bumper with ppf after repaint it, but it is expensive. I have a few rock chip too, I just try to touch up and when it gets more worst I will just repaint and wrap the bumper

Yes, the best solution if I were to reprint I feel would be to wrap the bumper, headlights and possibly a portion of the hood.
I was hoping there would be a solution to hide the existing pits and to prevent more being made without the expense of a wrap.
Like I said it seemed to be worse after using a polish, I am thinking there may of been a coating of some type on the paint when I purchased the car. The paint seems to be better than average condition. Bummer I didn't realize that before I started the polishing and do some research to see if something may of been added.
