Subject: Fixing Rock Chips

   Date: (none)



My car has literally dozens of little rock chips on the front end. Most of

them are too small to even apply touch up paint to. I've already applied

touchup paint to the ones that are big enough (following JTBob's Paint

Repair Process from miata.net). The others are not very visible unless

looking closely, but I'd like to do something about them. Are there any

solutions or techniques for getting rid of these? I was thinking of a

special wax or something along those lines? I'd really appreciate any

suggestions that you have to offer.



Also, I've got a couple of scratches on the car that are down to the primer,

but are very thin nevertheless. They're about 2-3" long, and also not very

visible unless looking closely. I imagine that applying touchup paint to

these scratches will just make them more visible, is there anything I can do

about these? (or SHOULD do about these?) These imperfections to the car were

there when I bought it used, but I'd really like to see what I can do about

getting rid of them.



Thanks in advance!
