I've been debating on whether or not get a clear bra put on the car. I didn't know if I was going to keep the car long enough to make it worth it, but today I noticed a couple of paint rock chips on my hood! ![Icon Mad](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_mad.gif)

Has anyone fixed these sort of rock chips without being noticeable? I'm guessing there has to be some paint put in and some polishing done. Is a good detailer the best person to fix this or will any rock chip repair shop do?

For my previous cars I used Dr. Color Chip. For my F-Type R I went with Jaguar Touch Up Paint | AutomotiveTouchup which was $10 for a bottle rather than having to buy a Dr. Color Chip kit for almost $30.00. They have a really nice micro-dabbers that works great for touching up small rock chips (Touch Up Paint Accessories | 1/2 Oz Products | AutomotiveTouchup) . I also use the blending solution from my Dr. Color Chip kit if necessary.

I assume one could do the same with the clear coat, perhaps 24 hrs later.
