Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, tonight I was driving on the interstate and an 18-wheeler threw a rock up and put a chip in the paint between the windshield and the sunroof. What's the best fix for this? Paint is mostly chipped (about nickel size) but on point you can see the metal. (about size of half a pea).

Go out and wax that spot right now! Rust is a biatch to stop once it gets under the paint. Take it to a body and paint shop ASAP.

You've done all you can for now. Let the patient rest before seeing the "doctors" in the morning!

Make sure they paint that spot with ceramic based clearcoat. Its the next best thing to nanopaint.

I heard the PPG guys are saying their ceramic clear is the same as MB nano.

Thats what I was told by a body shop here in SoCal as well. I will ask them again to see if they have any more information on this ceramic clearcoat.
