Rock chips suck but are a part of life, I had a bunch on the R8 (probably 30 to 40) on the nose and hood. While the Porsche isn't horrible I just had it wet sanded by the rear 'hips' of the car where it had quite a bunch of small little chips.

Have you ever considered going with some type of protective material like Xpel ?


Did you do the entire job by hand or did you use the Buffer ?
I considered film, but 1) didn't like the look and cost and 2) didn't expect the number of chips I already got.

In retrospect I might have done it. Also, my foot injury made everything else not matter for a few months. At this point, I don't know that it is worth it.

I have the Porter random orbital I bought way back when I got my ZHP in 2003. Still works well.
