Little tiny chips all on front bumper, help!
So I thought these were bugs but they arent. Anything I can do to reduce/hide these crappy things. Or at this point is it nothing but sand and repaint?'
Thanks

Something becoming increasingly popular are 3M clear bra's. I'm even considering one for myself.

I use the detailing brushes carefully to remove the wax residue and it works very well.
So if you have some dirt, bug, etc. use the automotive detailing brushes, and itll make it look much better.

Clean the bumper really well. Take a fine brush and blot each chip with touch up paint, have fun.

The clear bra is a good choice....But you would have to get it repainted first.......Or if you dont want to get it painted now, just buy a bra.......

I hate those little chips as well and if you saw the front of my black car you thought my job was to follow dump trucks overloaded with sand up and down the interstate all day long.
