Driving on Pakistan’s highways and rough roads exposes your BMW 2 Series to stone chips and scratches, especially on the front bumper, hood, and side mirrors.

✅ Best Ways to Prevent Stone Chips:

Install Paint Protection Film PPF: A clear film that protects high-impact areas from stone chips.
Use Mud Flaps: They help reduce debris hitting the lower body panels.
Apply a Ceramic Coating: It adds a hyhobic layer that reduces dirt and minor scratches.
Maintain a Safe Distance from Other Vehicles: This minimizes gravel and stone impact.
🔹 How to Fix Stone Chips & Scratches?

Use a Touch-Up Paint Kit – For minor chips, a BMW OEM touch-up paint can restore the finish.
Professional Paint Correction – Deep scratches may require wet sanding and polishing.
Full Panel Repaint – If damage is extensive, a professional respray might be necessary.
