Unfortunately I can’t help when people over take me and kick up rocks, nor can I avoid all cars on a busy interstate especially during the holiday season. I drove as defensively as I realistically could but the car is just a rock chip magnet. Definitely not as simple as “just back up”. Otherwise my car would still be perfect.
When people overtake you you're too slow.
I didn’t yet becuase my car doesn’t arrive until March. I have gone over there to speak with the owner and he’s a good dude. I showed him some light scratches on my 850i and he buffed them out for me free of charge. Check out their IG page too.
Not for everyone… but I’m taking the same approach for my delivery later in 2023 (hopefully!). Trying to keep my first EV & Porsche pristine, as much as possible, while still being my daily driver.
I’ve read about wheel chipping a few times. While I like the look of wheels matching exterior color for certain colors, I was also concerned about chipping and stayed with the default silver. Not sure how best to protect chipping on the wheels.
I took a bit of a risk. No unveiling at the dealership. Only a pre and post signing inspection. I was adamant that I did not want “dealer prep”. Car had the plastic pulled off, a basic wash, and whatever voodoo the dealer does to the vehicle to get it out of transport mode. After I paid for it, I had it picked up by the detailer and trailered directly to him via enclosed flat bed. My detailer handled the decontamination, paint correction, full car PPF, tint of the windows/windshield and coating of the paint, wheels and brake calipers. This worked well for me.
