Well, with that clear bra on my car I can't say I have any chips....
...or at least I should be able to say that, but I have ONE tiny little one just a little bit above where the clear bra stops.
It's almost invisible though.
As for paint swirls, none so far and I've been very bad about waxing it.
But then, my car's not nearly as dark as SD987s so that helps!
Oh, and dude, you bought a brand-new SLK as well as the Boxster!?
