Our 2 year old Mazda has covered the same journey many times and has over 12,000 miles and has 1 stone chip.
I couldn't believe it as I left plenty space between myself and other vehicles as had previously been reading this thread and never heard anything of any significance smacking off the car.
Think I'll be popping back to dealer on Monday to get pait thickness checked.
Does this make me the proud owner of "The Most Stone Chips in the Least amount of Time" award  |
I have done 7000 miles now and collected a couple of stone chips - no more than you would expect. There are a couple of people on here that have had obviously poor quality paint - Topcat was one I think. May be worth a look at their posts for how they got the problem sorted. Hope you are enjoying the car otherwise.
