Default GS bra?

As funny as it sounds, I have noticed a lot of rock chips to my hood and front of the car! It just sucks that it always happens! I had to put touch up paint and it just sucks seeing little dots all over my car! Is there anything I can purchase? I don’t want to be putting clear coating. Thanks

This was exactly my message approx three weeks ago when I said I give up on my liquid Platinum car. In jest though, as it is sharp to my eyes anyway. PPF is the only solution. Mine being a 2013, not worth it. If mine was newer, almost a requirement.

PPF is the only way to prevent the small rock chips. I would recommend xpel ultimate.

its a must on any car I own now. My 2013 had the factory ppf but I had it redone last year with xpel ultimate.

100k miles and not a single rock chip on the hood or bumper. I did change bumper to f-sport but previous one had no rock chips.

its well worth the money. Unfortunately 3 stage paint is nearly impossible to match with touch up so depending on your color your never going to hide it, getting it repainted(opens another can of worms).

Clear bra for sure. I’ve had several cars over the years that have had the front bumpers trashed by rocks. Put a clear bra on the vehicle that I bought in August and it looks just like the day that I bought it. I’ll never go without one again.
