Woe is me. Each time I brush off what I think is a spec of dust I find it's another stone chip
I've even got one on the drivers door sill! How is that possible when it isn't exposed to the road when driving??
Too late now but if I was to get another Macan I'd look seriously at getting the front end wrapped.
Stone Chips - Boo Hoo
How do you find it when washing the vehicle? Can you still apply wax etc?

Shine is used by Colchester / East London and Cambridge OPC.
OPS sell a service at £399 for 3 years cover which is pretty reasonable.
Not sure if this can be taken out only when the car is purchased....
I used chips away around 4 years ago for a scratch / dent and it was perfect but they are a franchise so only as good as the individual.

I went to my local Chips Away to explore getting my stone chips professionally repaired.
Very nice guy who offered to do the work for free if I supplied my own paint but I got the impression that he would just paint over the chipped area and not do any preparation work.
I don't expect the work for free but I did look at them to professionally repair and paint the chipped area. I wasn't confident that this would be the case.
I've since bought Chipex and when I get round to it will try it on an area not immediately visible. I'm not great at all this but would be meticulous if doing it myself. Thing is I don't want to do it and would rather pay someone if I knew they were competent.
My dealer could not recommend anyone and the service manager said that he used to have a really good guy at his previous dealership but wouldn't recommend any he'd met at his current location!
Maybe this type of work just doesn't pay because it does seem quite hard to find someone - reputable.

He'd do the work for free if you supplied the paint? Huh?!
Don't think he'll be in business for long...
