My zed 3 is in getting the front end resprayed after a large stone dented the bonnet. What would you reccomend to try and cut down the stone chips. I know going slower would help but that is not going to happen is it. ------------- I have been diagnosed with ADHOtS. Attention Deficit Hyperactive Ohh that's Shiney

Sandy, what about using clear vinyl from a Graphics/ sign shop, I am pretty sure that you can polish this, having worked in the trade for three years. I think 751 banner vinyl in clear may do what is needed. Rossi ------------- |

Yeah you can polish the stuff Ross,but it ain't going to add any depth or gloss to the car unlike the untreated stuff ------------- Previous: E36 318is coupe, E36 323i coupe, E30 316 saloon, E30 318 saloon, E46 330ci Sport Conv E92 325d M Sport(3.0),With Loads of gadgets Current: 116i Sport F20 |

I may be wrong, but someone told me a while ago that a good quality sealent can help cut down on stone chips. So i bought megs #21 (at £40 a bottle it better be good Ill need to ask about but im sure this is what i was told. ------------- |
) since i put it on i have had little to no stone chips and i drive 60 miles a day, so it must be doing something right.Posted By: stephenperry
