and yes new car probably is a better bet. dealer is trying to entice me, and I am not so impressed with MCB and the stone chips! I feel a alpine white might be on the cards.
Chips look worse on white.

Why don't you just get paint protection film. I have it on my car. It wrapped to the edges of the panels so it's seamless. It's also self healing so the car looks as immaculate as when it rolled of the line. And we have much more road debris here in the states than you have.

These films have advanced a lot since the old M3 days.

I use Suntek PPF-C. Xpel Ultimate is also pretty good but Suntek is the best.

Key is to get a great installer. Mine was done by the guy who does every car for Ferrari of Atlanra and Ferrari of Roswell.

Check out his work here. It's amazing. I would have done the whole car if it weren't so expensive. I did the entire front end including whole bonnet, fenders, bumper, mirrors, headlights, and also side skirts and rear bumper.

Ask any of the Miami members and they will tell you it is impossible to see a clearbra on my car.

I use Derek as well. His work is amazing. Have you picked up any of Kurt's (Ferrari detailer) detail supplies? All created and made by him and utterly amazing as well. Seems we have a few mutual friends. :-)
