well i was heading home last night, unaware that we were supposed to get some severe weather. When i left garner there was no rain, no wind, and since it was dark i had no idea of what was coming up.. so anyways as i was about 5 miles from my apartment (where i have a carport) the freaking sky opens up. i mean it seriously went from no rain to pouring down to where you could only see one car length ahead of you! So as everyone was slowing down to maybe 20mph or so,.. all of a sudden quarter size hail starts coming down, how fun! so this morning when i go out to look at my car i notice small paint chips all over my car and a few small chips on the windshield

So my question is, what is the best way to fix these chips?

Anyone else get caught out in the thunderstorms?

My car got caught out in tornado weather the first week I had it. I watched as almost golfball sized hail fell on it. Luckily I didn't get any chips but I did get 3 hail dents. Annoyed the crap out of me. I hope you get your car fixed

Some paint less dent removal shops or independent contractors that work at dealerships might be able to do spot touch ups on the car. Call the dealership and ask.

As for dents, the Honda dealer had a paint less dent removal guy remove a dent in what I thought was a impossible location to remove. But they got it out; had to drill a small hole in a inconspicuous area though.

I had hail damage a few years ago; insurance covered the repairs. good luck!

One of my co-workers had perfect results using paintless dent removal on hail damage. Good luck.

Hail chip'd your windsheild? Best of luck getting your car fixed.

I've also experienced great results with Dent removal pros.

I think i did get lucky and not get any dents as i haven't found any yet,.. now when i say that the hail chipped the windshield, i'm not talking about anything major, from a few feet away you don't notice em, same as with the paint, but up close you see tiny chips.. here are some pics i just took to show you what i mean:

speckles all over the car:

Dude, for some reason I thought this was going to be a 'Got caught in the rain with my top down' post.
