Beat up front bumper?

Went for a wash yesterday and noticed there seems to be quite a bit of chips in my bumper. More than likely they're from the previous owner but just wondering if anyone has experienced the same? I do a lot of highway driving.

yeah my front bumper looks like a freaking dalmation at this point. only way to get rid of it is to repaint it and then add the clear bra as protection. without the clear bra theres not much u can do as its bound to happen again.

just make sure you get a quality clear bra as the cheap stuff will yellow in the sun and look horrible after a couple of years.

Same here. My drivers side is much worse, probably because I left-lane it most of the time and bad drivers in front of me touch the shoulder and kick up rocks.

i did once on the clear bra... and i m not doing it again. ==

The clear bra does cover up MOST of the areas, but!!!... I still get rock chips and its all at the place where the clear bra doesnt cover!. Maybe that's just the luck thing...
