pinpoint bumper chips I've accumulated. I'd say it's too late to get a clear bra installed...If I ever get another nice car, that's the first thing I'm going to do. Is there something I can apply to the bumper cover to help minimize future chips? Maybe multiple coats of hard wax or something?

Default Running a polisher over the front end will reduce the amount and appearance...

of the very small marks. It takes some time, but generally the results are worth the effort.

For the larger marks, attempt to conceal with touch up paint and a toothpick...or a needle of some sort then polish down and multiple coats of wax.

Default Ditto roadyTT.....it's definitely too late to have a clear bra installed, unless you wanna

splash out and get a complete respray of your front bumper ?, and then you can get a kinda thin clear film that'll sit nicely on top of the paintjob. But it all costs money, and IMO for what it's worth it's pretty pointless unless you're able to avoid driving behind any other traffic.

If you can, just try and touch in the chips and keep ensuring you wax the bumper to apply as much protection as possible.
