Default Drive Yesterday

Has anyone here got the pictures?? I was wondering if you all got your fronts rock chipped to hell?? I was washing the bugs off today and half of them wouldn't come off and the other half were chips, so that's a kick in the balls. First it was the fire and now the chips! What a day Had a goood drive yesterday though guys.

Adam, are you sure they are chips? Soak your front first in car wash soap or the zaino soap if you have it. Then get your wash glove out and go over it. The bugs should come off. Sometimes bugs look like chips if they don't come off. I've gone three drives and haven't received any chips.

Try to follow with more distance between you and the front car. I noticed you followed quite close.

Oh and the pics are here

No chips here either and I was at the back of the pack. Try washing those areas again with warm/hot water. I think they are just bug guts that are just hardened on there.
No bad aftereffects from that fire I hope.

Geez, what am I talking about. Of course, I don't have any chips. My whole front end is covered in 3M film.

Yep, already have done the underside. I'll wait for the paint to "age" a few days before putting the film on the other surfaces. I'm still debating this one since the most "delicate" part is the underside and it has one of the thicker films you can buy.
