Mike,
I've only had my new car on the road since November and
already the paint is
chipping off in the wheel wells. I've got a locally
written spray painting book
(published by Gregorys) which recommends using a 3M
product called Body Schutz
in wells. The book also mentions a 2nd product called
Chip Guard but doesn't
give a manufacturer. Looks like you might need a special
spray gun to apply it.
I'll proabably have to look at using one of these
products in the near future.
Cheers,
Eriks Skinkis
