Stone Chips

[david b]

Watched a chap removing stone chips from a bonnet of a black Mercedes, {obviously a professional} He didn’t use any paint only some sort of chemical or polish, the chips just disappeared. He wouldn’t say how it worked or what he used.
Has anyone else seen this? If so how doe’s it work and what is used? It wasn’t Colour Magic polish but a clear liquid.

My brother in law has this company and only last week I was asking him about removing a couple of very minor stone chips on my SLK which is Iridium Silver (not the most chip friendly colour).

He explained that the worst way is with a silver touch up brush because the flakes in the paint settle the wrong way up and will be dark on drying. On silvers he uses either simply clear-coat applied with a very - very fine brush and built up slowly or, clear-coat with a minute drop of white and again built up slowly then polished when it hardens.

I'm guessing that for black you would use the same method but maybe with a minute amount of black added.

HTH.

The results were certainly very impressive whatever was used!

Have you used this? Is it as good as they say? Can one get it in UK or from USA only?

Not used it, just saw it on DW and the guys rated it.
