Help With My New Is Please
Hey everyone, I recently purchased a new IS 250 AWD and I already noticed some rock chips on the hood of my car from driving on the highway. I average 80 miles a day driving on the highway so I’m expecting a lot of chips. I was wondering if anyone of you has any suggestions on what I can do to help protect the paint on the front of my car. I need help fast please, I don’t want to find another mark on my hood anymore. Thanks

thanks guys, I contacted 2 shops around here who installs clearshield, it seems that's the same thing as clear bra. They both use the same material but one shop wants $799 and the other $499, both shops cover hood, bumper, fenders and side mirrors. Do you guys think $499 is a reasonable price? I already have a pretty noticeable rock chip on the hood and I only had the car for a little over a week, so I can't wait any longer. I think I'm going to get tints and clearshield done this Saturday.
What do you guys suggest I do with the rock chip mark I have right now? Should I just use touch up paint on it?

I got the clear bra and tint done and it looks great. Although there are couple air bubbles in the clear bra but the shop said it will take roughly 30 days to completely dry and if it doesn't I can take it back to them and they'll take care of it. Unfortunately I can't find the receipt anymore. lol
