We all were stuck behind a gravel truck on the highway that was spitting pebbles out as he drove. We all passed the truck as fast as we could but each of our cars was unfortunately pelted with the debris. The rover has no rock chips my car fared the worst with 6 small chips on the hood and fenders (really ruined my night). The audi only had one. We were all the same distance from the truck and going the same speed. It amazes me how easily this new "environmentally friendly " paint will chip.
what colour is your car and what are the others? Just asking because some paints are harder than others... example, white is the hardest, black is much softer.
