3M covers hood, bumpers, and half way up the sides, but its freaking expensive.

Chips aren't hard to see, with any camera, and they are dark, not white... Something THAT small isn't gonna go through paint. I'm 99% sure you just have overspray/bugs/tar/sap/something else. Get that clay bar out and if your arm just hurts you're not doing it right, it should fall off at the end of the day. Also, as you pointed out, to hit the roof, the angle of incidence would be so great that it would leave long scratches, not little tiny dings.

That is what a hear! It could run well over $1,000 depending on vehicle size and application... Yaris is probably under $1,000?

Cheers!
