Stone Chips and T-cut?

Washed the car yesterday, found a tiny chip on the paint (Argggh). Just wondering whats the best product to use to keep them in check?

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks.

On my last scooby I had all the leading surfaces covered with a heavy clear vinyl. That worked.

Mmmhhhh ..... Now there's an idea. Thanks my lord

Stone chips are an annoying fact of life.
Lamberts already got option 1 which is cover the paint surface with a protective cover of some sort.
Option 2 - get a touch up pen and keep on to of the chips, done correctly you can't see the repair.
Option 3 - do nothing and when it gets a mess or you want to sell get "chips away" in to repair the panel.
Option 4 - embrace the rugged look, fit a snorkel and leave it covered in mud.

The reality is probably a mix of all, but don't get hung up about them, it's going to happen if you drive and enjoy the vehicle..

I agree. Have used Xpel Ultimate film on the front, bonnet and sides of my BM - and two years in it has proved very effective. It has an element of 'self-healing' as well. Takes a strike and then the tiny hole somehow fills-in as the vinyl is warmed in the sun, over a day or two (or you can speed the process up with a heat gun).

Not cheap though!

After about 5 years then I think you are into Scimike's 'mix' of different solutions.

Depending how deep they are you might try repairing the damage by polishing them out with Autoglym Super Resin Polish.

It is just a polish but gives a small amount of protection. AG SRP has the capability to 'fill' damage and a chip or scratch can almost disappear. You'll need to build it up though, it will take time and patience.
Once the appearance of any damage is reduced, follow up with a good quality wax such as Colinite 845 Insulator Wax -or any other quality wax that you like.
I like Colinite 845 as it gives a particularly good 'wet' shine especially to white or silver coloured paintwork which is difficult to make look shiny.

There are 'magic' scratch treatments out there - but I've never tried them. Other than that its old fashioned touch-up paint.

I like the idea of the Xpel film - prevention better than cure
