getting rock chips on the rear quarter panel after lowering, what to do?

So i lowered my g on bc coilovers, enough so that there is zero wheel gap, i noticed now that winter has ended i had lots of little rock nicks on the side (above the 3m pieces). I have since put splash guards on the front, but im not sure if they did anything, i mean i know i cant get ride of them, but i want to avoid any more. My front camber is -0.75, should i maybe pull in the wheels a bit?



I hit that area with the orange pad and some mequiars ultimate compound once, would i be able to make them a bit less noticable with a more intense pad? They arent visible form afar, its more of a thing that bugs me

Splash guards are pretty pointless. Getting little rock chips on my car also near the rear quarter panel.

Sucks. Unfortunately, nothing much can be done. We have a weak a$$ paint. Hit it with a more rough pad on the PC.

I took the 3M off mine within a week of getting the G, it doesn't do anything extra and it stands out way too much when it's dirty

It just peels off
