Default How to fix this?

Hey guys need some. There 2 things that's bugging me on my car.

One the clear coat on the front bumper near the headlight chipped But the Best way to stop it from chipping anymore without painting the car. I don't mind if i can still see it i just don't want the clear to come off any more. also do they even sell clear touch up paint lol. here a pic


Number Two a damn shopping cart hit my S2000 Emblem the Yellow guard on the shopping cart left a mark on the Emblem and i tried my best to remove it but i can't here a pic too.




All the best!

1) The clearcoat chip is caused by insufficient prep work prior to painting or from the headlight/tail light sitting too close to the bumper.

I would touch it up with some clear coat, however I don't think you can really get a touch up as the clear coat at a body shop is made with a 2 part system (clear+hardener). You could either buy some "spray bomb" clear and spray it on a clean surface and use a touch up brush and apply onto the chipped part of your car or you can borrow your sisters or gf's clear nail polish and touch it up lol.

2)Try using some rubbing compound on your emblem or some good wax & grease remover on it.
