Toyota, Honda, Ford, Dodge, GM, Chevy. All of my friends with these type's of cars have maybe 1-2 rock chips at most and have been driving their cars for years. I drive my car one day without painter's tape and end up with 6-7 chips the day before I go to put my clear bra on. Its ridiculous.
I have a handful of new rock chips every week, I've given up on freaking out over them. The windshield, front bumper, hood, doors, fenders, side skirts. I even have a rock chip on the rear passenger side window. I never got a clear bra (obviously) which I will definitely do if I ever get the car repainted.
I also have a lot of paint swirls, many of which I attribute to the horrible detail the dealer performed when I first bought the car.

I stood under the sun for 30 minutes to decide whether to get a Black or White.
I went with White. Swirl will still be on white's body IF you send your car to car wash. Fortunately, swirls will not be easily visible on white. That was the main reason why I took white. Otherwise, black is my first choice.
The only thing to prevent swirls is to wash your own car, of course, with appropriate cloths. I do that sometimes but it is time consuming and effort is needed.
Sam, from South Coast Mitsubishi, told me that he had to spend hundreds of dollars to get rid the swirls he has on his black Range Rover. So, that summed up that the problem is not only on Mitsu or Subie. I don't plan to donate that kind of money to some detailing shops.
I'm sure some of you have seen this video, but I'll just share it.

Decide what's best for you.
