paintwork

If you are buying a new "new" car, is there anything you can do from the start to protect the paintwork, especially the bonnet area where it seems to get hit with stones and gravel, etc, which cause marks, sometimes indents and eventually give rise to rust spots? It's happened with every car I've had.

Thanks,

Philip

Hi, I'm currently looking at a metallic blue Volkswagen Jetta 1.6 petrol. Myself and my girlfriend are a bit worried by faded patches in the paint. Could it have been caused by acid? We have asked the car dealer what it is and he said it was caused by somebody touching it with sun cream. What do you think?

Thank you, Dylan.

How to remove paint picked up accidentally from rubbing a pillar in a car park?

How much would it be to repair a dented boot door from a small rear end accident? No paint damage, just a boot door dent across the width of a car bonnet.
