Well not one, see what I wrote "many chips"... Unfortunate circumstance with gravel, the guy ahead of me, speed, etc., that I found not typical for the autobahn and the rest of the trip. The car now has paint protection film on it and has sealed and memorialized the rock chips it earned in Europe!

Absolutely. I got over the chips pretty quickly, the car looks great still and is awesome to drive. The latter being the most important thing.

That sucks, but you just learn to get over the rock chip issue. I am just glad mine hides well with Dr. ColorChip.

My 911 is loaded with chips over the last 7 years of daily driving. Use to drive me nuts, then I got out a sharpie forgot about it. I look at them as battle scars.

Door dings is what drives me nuts. How do you guys handle those?

If you have a tiny chip, you don't need the reducer that comes with dr chip kit.
If all you need is paint, by all means go with auto touch up due to the price. However, you can't use regular paint with the DCC reducer so they have you captive!

I use a guy that is just a genius artist removing dings. Uses special tools to push ding back out to its original shape. His view is that German cars are made of much better metal and easily repairable. I am sure u can find a "ding Doctor" in your area.
