Default S6 First Problem !!

Im driving home from work this afternoon, earlier than normal and here we go. Car in front of me turns right into a stone driveway and as i pass him i hear DING !!!!!!! I said it can't be , 10 minutes later i get home, get out of the car and start checking the passenger side of the car . I get to the read door and there it is, two chips from the rock. No dent that I can tell , just looks like chips. Ordered doctor color chip, any one have any experience with it or better suggestions?

Have experience with it and feel it is the next best thing to taking it to a body shop. But it's not going to look like new when you're done with it.

I have the Xpel and it probably helped with my hood ding to keep the paint from scratching, but the dent I have doesn't make me happy. Now I just need to find out when the dent guy is at the dealer so it can get fixed there...I am hoping they can just massage out from the back of the hood.

Regaring the rock chip the DR Color Chip stuff is good, but you will still know it is there, but it will be tougher to see.

So I had to go look at it again it's one chip with three other tiny chips and a small indentation. Hard to get a pic because my garge is dark. This sucks !!!!! What the hell are the chances of getting a stone kicked up at your door?

We are all going to get a chip or ding sooner or later. You just got yours out of the way. Perhaps chip/ding karma will provide you with few if any future problems.

Im not sure what is worst, getting the first chip/ding this way, in a parking lot when you are not around, or when your wife pulls a suitcase out ot the trunk and drags the wheels across the bumper.

Dont ask me how I know about that last one.

I am picking up my new S6 tomorrow. Before I drive it off the lot, I had the dealer put on a 3M clear bra. Worth every penny...

The bumper issue is why I put the Xpel paint protection on the top of the bumper...
