Paint.

I think I am slowly getting a chip. As I put my second coat of wax on my paint today, I noticed a bubble looking thing on the hood of the car. I ran my hand over it and it looks like the type of bubble that can turn into a chip if rubbed the wrong way. Doesnt seem like it came from a pebble or anything. It is very small and doesn't seem like a big deal yet, but if it chips it might be. It's a brand new car and I don't know if it can go a few years without chipping.

Here are some pics. The first is the bubble. The second is a pic farther away so you can see where it is on the hood although you cant see the bubble.





Anything I can do about that??

That looks to me like a stone chip, which hasn't gone right through!
