How to avoid Stone Chips?

[GrizzlyBear]

Stone chips annoy me. I am normally a very calm person, but since I tend to keep cars for years I know it is going to be there staring back at me when I wash the car.

I normally leave quite a large gap between myself and the vehicle in front to minimise stone chipping (2 stone chips in 25K miles - both caused by stones flicked by people diving into the gap).

So how can I minimise stone ships?

I have seen bonnet bras, but I can't help but thinking if some grit gets under the material, it will scratch the bonnet so defeat the point.

So how to you minimise stone chips please?

scene tape innit

I see... the best way to keep the look of clean, freshly polished paint is to cover it in insulation tape.

Now let me think - Options:
1.
2.
3.

Can't decide

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think that needs some work...
