Another way to keep your vehicles paint looking good is by taking care of any chips or cracks in your vehicles paint. These chips and cracks can happen easily from road debris or a little parking lot mishap. However if you don't get them taken care of they can cause the area around them to begin rusting.

To avoid having to fix chips and cracks you may consider getting a 3M Clear bra put on your car to protect areas that are prone to having that happen, like your bumper.
