Sorry, I didn't think it was that good. Works for small or fine scratches but not on rock chips or door dings that I have found to be on the bigger size. It does color the spot for you and that's about it. you still see the imperfections. MOI

I can tell you I had deep chip right into the fiberglass on the hood from rock toss up, it bother me to no end. I was getting ready to send the hood to bodyshop for have it painted.
Then someone mention the good Doctor, so I tried it. I can tell you it was done two years ago, and if you can find the chip good luck cause I know were it was and can't find it.
The trick is to drop paint before the chip and then swipe it to fill the hole, granted it took me several times till I got it perfect, and very happy.

I think expectations may be a little too high, lets face it, nothing can fix it like it was prior to the chip, but if it's covered and raised to a point where it hides it without the ole "blob" look then that's about it. If the color is really close then its about the only way without re-paint isn't it.
My 2011 has a few that have been touched this way, I didn't see them when I bought the car but after having it for a while now, rubbin and polishin like I do I can see them.
YOU CANT STOP CHIPS IF YOU DRIVE, JUST CANT, and I don't follow close at all, in fact keep quite a distance when driving the Vette

I use it but....... chips leave a white spot and the dr colorchip makes the bottom of the hole well in my case CRM and not so noticeable. On a scale of 1-10 I would give it a 7. it is better than nothing. I was disappointed with the product. I did my hood then used the 3M spray Paint defender on top so ya really cannot see the dings because the spray-on fills the holes in the paint.

I've used it on my 1985 Merc 380SL, 2007 SL550, 2009 C63, 2012 Camaro ZL1 and now on my 2013 GS Coupe. It works as advertised and is a perfect product for a "Driver". You can worry yourself silly over paint, but when that first chip or scratch happens and the "Virginity" is gone, it will never be "Cherry" again.
Drive it, enjoy it, and let the Dr. take care of the blems.
Cheers and a prosperous 2015 to all...............

I've used this particular brand on 4 cars so far and it's worked great on all of them. Even large chips are hidden though they took some patience and multiple applications to properly fill them (it's not a wonder product that works on the first application for such deep scratches but if you apply it a bit at a time, you eventually fill it up and it's flush with the surface so that it's only noticeable if you're ultra-picky or know where to look.)
It's definitely not junk.

far from it. When you know WHAT YOUR DOING WITH IT it works really well.

Sorry guys I've been on vacation. But yes I think it's a great product. Just like anytime you paint anything it's all about the prep. Good prep=good results. poor prep=poor results.
