Door Dings and Paint Chips !!!
Today I was brushing off my car again w/ the california duster and then I almost fliped the FCK over. 2 door dings and 2 paint chips. ERRRRRR 
1 door ding near my drivers side door and 1 door ding near the fuel door. 1 paint chip near my door edge and 1 paint chip above the ding on near the fuel door. I was about to cry and die. OMG what the Hell am i sopose to do. Now all I see when i walk to my car is the friggen door dings and paint chips. I have the touch up paint but don't want to put it on since it might make it look worse. Oh I also forgot to mention I got a rock chip on my side view mirror. errrrrrrrrrr

Dings……
You could try one of those “paint free” ding removal places if the surface of the paint isn’t broken.
Paint chips are pretty much unavoidable with the cheap water based paint they use on cars today.
What looks worse to you, a touched up paint chip or RUST ????

A chip caused from the outside would not be covered.
I think you have to prove the rust was caused by a defect in the paint process or in the metal.
I’m not an expert on this by any stretch, but that is what I have heard.

------------------------------------------
You would think the clear bra would prevent paint chips. Did the ding or chip happen on non-protected paint?
