Question Got some chips on the Yaris from my 100 miles commute, any suggestions for a fix?

It's Jolt yellow...I've worked with factory touchup paint in the past and it tends to be a huge pain in the ass. Short of getting the front end repainted every time a chip shows up what's a good fix? I recall seeing that stuff called Langka a few years ago...anyone use that?

Not interested in a car bra either...

Langka anyone? Read a lot of reviews and it seems with some patience it's a worthwhile system

You might repaint and get a paint protection film applied. The shop that tinted my windows recommended LLumar.

IMHO,the touchup paint is only a temporary solution.
