View Full Version : Paint chips...would CQuartz prevent?

My brand new truck (5K on it now), always been sealed/waxed and taken care of from day one.
Doing a good detail the other day, I noticed some super tiny paint nicks on the rear wheel well flares and few on the lowers. It's a 4x4 and has big knobbies on it and mudflaps, thus lots of tones thrown...OUCH! Bummer :<( I don't off-road or drive hard, but living in the country you get all sorts of things coming at you.

Would something like the cquartz help prevent such chips, or dare I ask the gtechnic stuff? I'd fork it over, but don't think much would prevent it or would it?
Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

3M Clear autobra. I think that would stop rock chips.

The coatings may help prevent light marring but I seriously doubt any of them will help from rock chips.
May have to look into some type of chip guard.

Thanks.
The clear bras, can you see them, meaning are they unsightly or ugly? Feel them? I wonder because on those rear flares it might look like plastic on furniture since they stick out.
