Default NRB question

I love my 14 NRB coupe, but at 25k miles the paint is showing every
rock chip and flaw, making me NUTS.

Have any of you used Dr. Colorchip on NRB, and were you satisfied with the results?

Thx.

I used it on my black C-6. It was good, not perfect.

I have a few nicks on my Laguna Blue and it is driving me nuts!!

My NRB car is starting to show mild stone abrasion on the door frame edges that face forward, example: both bottom aft door openings lower rear edge. Your new car starts to lose the newness at 10,000 miles. I am approaching 9,000 miles.

I used it on a scratch on the side. I am less than thrilled.

I had a few spots to touch up on the rear fenders before the Xpel went on (at 750 miles....) and the GM paint I got was significantly darker than the actual paint on the car. Now the areas were so small I don't know if anyone else could tell, but I sure could.

That's exactly my experience with the GM touch-up paint as well.
