the chipping is from driving at highway speeds in an area where sand is prevelant... it's called "sandblasting" and it's what happens to your car EVERY time you drive on the highway... or anywhere else there's someone in front of you kicking up sand...

I have repainted my wiper arms twice in 6mo. because of how chipped they get...

a bra will help it but will also cause the parts under the bra to dis-color at a different rate than the rest of the car (especially in AZ).

there is basically nothing you can do to stop it other than staying like 1/4 mi behind EVERYONE else on the highway.
