Front of car looks like it is sand blasted
I have a 2004 corolla witch i keep on top of cleaning buffing and waxing.
But i use the car to go back and forth to work on expressways with trucks.
the front ,mostly the bumper looks like it is sand blasted. verry tiny white marks covering the whole bumper.
Is there anything i can do other than have it painted?

I agree with Doug. My cars rocker panels are just so dull and rough
Went through some tough winters.

i used dr color chip on my '05 vette, i was so happy with the results that i opted not to have it re-sprayed ... its not as easy to use which they have you thinking in the video, but this product def worked on lemans blue ... get the large road rash bottle if your car is in bad shape ...

Twisted...I'm getting ready to apply Dr. Colorchip to my car. From the sound of it, mine isn't as bad as OP, but from about 3 feet away with the lights shining on it you can tell. Was your road rash bad? How did you apply it? Brush and smear or t-shirt and wipe?

Re: Front of car looks like it is sand blasted
mine wasnt that bad, but i had a few good chips ... you have to stand there and really look to see the touch ups, some of the smaller chips blended just about perfect ... it really tricks the eye and the front end is blue everywhere, no more black chips ... its def worth purchasing ... i used the materials that dr colorchip sent me, i used the brush, blobbed and wiped ...
i was going to respray the front end, but this by far exceeded my expectations ... just takes some patience, the professional in the video makes it look ez to apply and wipe ... it took a little elbow grease on my end ...
