I found another chip yesterday when I was washing the car again. I've got 3 now and they're starting to bother me.

Get a clear bra installed. They are EXCELLENT, especially if your car is Alpine White like mine. It is impossible to see unless you're way up close looking for the edges. They're 100% effective at preventing rock chips in the protected area. It's also an excellent feeling not having to worry about following a semi too close or avoiding dump trucks like the plague.

Yes it really works if you are patient. It takes a bit of use before you're good at it but the up side is the worst that can happen is you're right back where you started. In fact, the hardest part is not removing too much touch up paint. It does not affect your paint in any way. If you take too much off just start over again. You apply the touch up...wait for a while, I think they recommend 15 minutes, then with a cloth wipe the Langka across the spot. It removes an extremely small amount each pass. You can practice until you get it to your satisfaction with no adverse affect. Don't expect the results to look like the picture unless you are very patient and have a good touch. What it does for me that I like is remove the "blob" look. It smooths the touch up paint and removes it in areas it doesn't need to be. Don't worry about harming your paint....it doesn't react with cured paint. Polish it when done.....I use Klasse AIO.
