                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
