Rock Chips and CG

I read quite a bit about rock chips on the front bumber. Seems the factory paint is soft. Some have found repainting the bumper/hood helps.

CG claims on their website that their product is very hard. Is CG hard enough to help with the rock chip problem? Any experience?

Re: Rock Chips and CG

it helps... but not in some circumstances

driving 85mph+ nothing much is going to help, clear bra may?

CG is hard, but it is only a microscopic layer. It will not stop most rock chips, no wax/polish will protect as well as something as thick as clearbra or leather bra.

Re: Rock Chips and CG

I'm with Rambo-- CG will technically prevent a lot more circumstantial chips than a standard wax, but nothing will stop a 2x4 from crushing your bumper.
