I just got my new Mini well new to me and I just had it detailed this morning and now I can see all the rock chips and they are driving me crazy! Any suggestions? Here are some pics of my new whip and then the rock chips! Not sure if they happened from previous owner or my ride home from Miami Friday evening

 

Welcome to easily chip'able BMW / MINI paint...
A matching paint pen, tinted wax, or a respray will be some of your choices.

Thanks! Its good to be back and part of the Mini family I have been cheating and went to the VW side for a while. I am staying with MINI for good this time ha. A touch up paint pen it will be and a toothpick asap!

 

Respray then do this,

The clear films that go over the areas work great....
increasing following distances a bit helps too...gives the rocks a chance to fall....

 

Also if you do the clear bra thing go all the way up to the belt line. It looks way better.

 

I guess I will just deal with it I am not a fan of the clear bras down the road they never look as they did when first installed.

 

Cleae bras are disposable....they scrafice themselves to save the paint. When you dislike the look, peel it off, and go bare...or reapply!! Much easier and CHEAPER than a respray...where the finish/colour never matches 100%....and no rust in the chips!!
