Ditto the above.

I had several small chips that bothered me a lot (though I'm pretty sure they were so small that virtually nobody else even noticed them). Experimentally, I did some using the much more labor-intensive methods with touch-up paint, artists brushes/matches/toothpicks, super-fine sanding products, etc, and others I did with the Dr. CC.

Although I was pretty meticulous in my technique with the touch-up paint, reading like a hundred descriptions of how to do it before even starting and being super exacting in my application, I have to say I can't see a whole lot of difference. The Dr. CC (which is mind-numbingly simple) may even look better in some cases.

I should probably add: I'd be the first to admit I'm sure there are touch-up artisans out there that do the labor-intensive techniques with better results than any that I got. (Though my efforts looked passably good, I never fully perfected the sanding technique.)

We tried the process on my friend's black Boxster...I wasn't overly impressed with the results because it still left a crater where the chip was. We went back to the old concours method of filling, wet sanding, then polishing with an orbital.

Have you seen this method? Similar in nature, but diferent manufacturer:

I've read positive results with their product on other boards.

(I used to be a fairly serious concours guy a few years back).
