Windshield chip solution

Hey all,

I take the highway every day. It's really frustrating that I hear atleast one little (pin-sized) chip hit my windshield or some front part of my car (granted it could be just a creak from hitting a bump on the road).

I've made it a rule to make sure the car in front of me is about 3 car lengths ahead of me and honestly that seems like it's helped.

What do you all do to avoid chips?

Is it just me hearing those sounds every day?

Can it be the highway that sucks? Because I can't imagine taking normal roads to work everyday that would kill my mpg and travel time.

ALSO, as a solution would you all think it's ok to clay/polish my windshield to atleast reduce the amount of chips on there? I've got the HUD, but polishing off a tiny layer of glass shouldnt affect it right? There's a product from GTechniq that is used on the windshield - should I use that to protect it after?

Thanks for your help, it's annoying having the part of the car you look at the most have so many permanent little (pin-sized) nicks on it, and feel like every day more are being added.
