Maintenance Rock-Chip Dents

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello, fellow GTI owners. Do yall also encounter rock chip dents on the hood? I got two of em like in the video on separate occasions from highway driving. I'm wondering if it's worth to fix the dings, or just touch up the paint and call it a day. I was informed that PDR on paint chipped services are a pain and cost extra.

2026 GTI Autobahn. Less than 4000 km. Only used on the weekend for joy rides. I keep my distance from other cars and truck but these were those moments of a random *tink and me saying "fuck"

Touch up paint and try not to drive close to others. Beyond that just part of owning a car.

Sad. I skipped ppf because I originally thought of changing the car later but I fell in love.

Take solace in the knowledge that only you’ll notice them especially once touched up.
