At freeway speeds, you can’t go 100 miles without a rock bouncing off your car. If you have ever driven a motorcycle, you will know what it feels like to be hit by a rock.
To fix your paint ships, you will need a can of Turpentine, some touchup paint matching the color of your car, a toothpick, and cotton cloth.
1. Remove the cap on the can of Turpentine and put the cotton cloth over your finger and then put your finger over the opening and turn the can upside down. This will give you a dimes worth of Turpentine to work with.
2. The Turpentine on the cotton cloth is just enough to remove the wax around and in the chip.
3. Shake the touchup paint well and open the cap and take out the little brush.
4. Put a small chip sized drop on the end of your toothpick and tap it into the chip.
What you are looking for here is a bubble of paint in the chip. If you get some on your paint, don’t worry about it right now. After drying for 15 minutes the paint will shrink into the chip.
5. Repeat #1 before lightly in a fast motion back and forth begin to remove the paint that got onto the cars paint. What you are trying to do is just leave the paint in the chip. If you have made a mess, press harder and remove all the paint and start over.
6. Repeat this process a second time as you will need another round of paint in the chip to bring the paint level with the paint on your car.
Don’t worry about the Turpentine. It will NOT remove any factory paint on your car. The longer paint dries the harder it is to remove.
You will soon find that fixing a paint chip is not as hard as it sounds.

This stuff does not work. At least in black it doesn't. Tried it. Do not waste your money.
