Highway Debris knicked my car : ( - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I believe a piece of debris on the highway tapped my car and left a minor gash and chip on my rear bumper right where the rear wheel is located. There is a small chip as well, but I think i'll leave it alone since it's hard to see again Asphalt anyways. What would you guys recommend to hiding it better? Wash, Clay, Polish?

I'd wash then clay. I took some lumber debris at around that same place and the clay bar took it out. Not sure if the same will be true in your case.

Thanks for the advice washing/claying left nothing but the chip behind. Now I need to decide whether I want to touch up the chip or not

Keep Ur car that dirty and no one will ever notice.

Fix it, then make sure you NEVER EVER drive it again.

They are just messing around, take your car to a detailer get it polished and opticoated. My detailer will touch up small scratches like that with touch-up paint and then polish over them to make them disappear. You should be fine, those scratches don't look major.

I have a clear bra on mine and I got one on my trip home today and that shit pierced it, but car remains okay I hope. Another one hit right on the corner of the hood where theres the rubber liner of all the places and chipped the hell out of the paint I'm so pissed!

I guess I can try a touch up paint..
