So its been a while since i have had time to detail my car and really get it sqeaky clean. Today i did just that and afterwards counted almost 12 chips and a few bad door dings. Worst part of it was my paint is only just now turning a year old.
just wondered how often everyone else gets great new suprises like i do?

that sucks dude....But is there maybe something wrong with the paint? My car is a 02 WS6 with the factory paint and 65,000 miles on it and has less then 12 chips on it total i think. Do you drive down gravel roads alot?
just seems like alot to get even with DD it

That film they use to cover the paint looks realy good. I must look into that paint.. saw them put that on a new painted vett in the paint section.

If you drive them they will get beat up...I had the whole car repainted at 100,000 miles it now has 191,000 and the front (hood and bumper) need it again...I replaced the windshield at 130,000 miles because it looked like it was sandblasted...wear and tear is something you just have to learn to live with if you drive a lot ...![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)

I drive my car everyday and everytime I wash it I notice more and more damage.
Yesterday at work I was looking at my car and noticed I have hail damage to the quarters, never noticed it since it needs to be in the right light to see.![Sad](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_sad.gif)
I will have to see about some pdr.

Black shows all the chips
Really sucks...it makes washing your car an almost depressing experience...until you step back a few feet and just admire the whole car
Is there a write up on here for proper touch up? I think just touch up, clear, followed with pc? I've seen some very bad attempts to touch up paint :-\
