I used it on my car with great results. Got rid of the hood rock chips, and a few of the larger scratches blend in better than before.
sorry, I didnt get pics

If you are using on black, you will get some swirls afterwards, so a light polish might be needed a later on.

I've used the Dr. Color Chip kit before on my previous Explorer SportTrac. I agree it works really well, without glaring paint blobs.

After I sold my old SportTrac, I kept the SealAct bottle. After removing an emblem from my Frontier, I found that the SealAct was great at removing the adhesive residue.

Good info thanks.:tiphat:

It works pretty well and is easy to use.

I recommend doing a couple chips at a time rather then a bunch. And if you don't go over the new paint with the solution and towel the paint may stay a darker color. if you don't buff the paint enough it may leave a dull finish on the clear. After a couple months you can use a pc to shine the clearcoat.

after a few more indents on mine (so far i have two) i will give this a shot. langka is a good system. is there a reason why you guys chose drchip over langka? :)

I've used Lanka before and I didn't really like it. I believe Lanka is used on oem touch up paint. Dr colorchip is just paint. I think Dr colorchip is easier and quicker to use.
