Ive had my new car since March and I just noticed this. Do you think it will keep cracking and rust or become a bigger problem?

Please dont respond with saying "its totaled" 🙏

This question is mainly for actual detailers.

*i know its small and I will get more*

As you can see its not deep i cant tell if just the clear coat is missing or the pearl top coat too.

I just dont like having a chip that could chip more paint in the future id love to make this flush with the rest of the paint. My question is should I just order dr colorchip kit , or take it to a detailer to fill, wet sand, and smooth? I have a consult on monday with one to look at it. Its a '26 kia sorento in glacial white pearl. Thankyou in advance.

I got a patio poured last spring and i noticed a hairline crack here at one of the joints before winter(I live in PA) and i was gonna push some sikaflex or some concrete caulk in it before water froze in it and made it worse but i never did and the crack has widened a wee lil bit but my question is... is it even a good idea to do that or should I just leave it alone? I was hoping itd keep that chunk from falling the whole way off..?

P.s. please dont tell me how all concrete cracks, im very aware and am ok with that, just asking if I could prevent this chunk from cracking the whole off.

Thank you in advance for all your experienced advice!!

I noticed a rock chip on my back bumper while on vacation, prob from the 300 miles of highway, and I had a oem touch up paint pen so I came home and dabbed 2 thin coats with a toothpick and the color doesnt look solid, like you can still see the dark gray underneath but i did as many coats as I could without having a heaping blob over it... i know its really small but for a brand new car, it sticks out like a sore thumb to me😔 anyway, im kinda afraid to "finalize" this with the clear coat but i guess i should just dab on some clear coat and call it a day....

Is there a way to get swirl marks and light scratches out of piano black exterior trim peices on the doors? If so, will a detailer do it if I took it to one? Theres no visable scratches on these in the pic they are just glares but i can see them.. prob from the car wash which I wont be going to anymore

My daughter opened my new car door in our carport and grazed the wood post. I know its really small but this is likely primer and not metal, right? Would this rust if I dont touch it up?

I have a '26 kia sorento in supposedly the dreaded white and ive been noticing paint defects here and there nothing major, i showed them the one at my first oil change on the weld crease up under the license plate and they said theyd ve in touch to get it to a shop and then today when in my trunk I noticed paint defects up by the hinge. Would you do report these also even though theyre in a "hidden" place and not on the exterior part of the car?? Idk what to do.. im not sure id theyd ever start to peel or rust? I cant feel the lines with my finger on the ones by the hinge...

Hand washed and waxed my new car for the first time yesterday and noticed this.. im not sure if that'll rust or flake/get worse in the future. Would you document that with the dealership?? Ive only had it for 2 months its a 2026

I bought a "26 kia sorento s in March and this is the first time I handwashed and waxed it and I noticed this (pic attatched) it looks like paint over a crappy weld in the crease there might have cracked i cant tell but it doesnt look good. I dont know if this will rust in this future , Can I document this with the dealership when I go in for my first oil change here in a few weeks? Im getting it done around 1k per suggested by people on here. What do you guys think? Thanks!
