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
