stone chip advice needed
just finnished clay baring my car ,so spent a while staring at every inch of it, noticed a lot of random placed stone chips just through to a grey primer. but 2 or 3 through to the metal and rust visable ,
what kind of finnish should i expect to get from companies like chips away ,also what can be done for the 2 or 3 that have rust?

Simple answer - see the Dr colorchip thread on page 2.
I have bought some and tried it - it is perfect for roadrash and very good on stone chips.
I think there may be a group buy going too.

think i'll be giving that a go for the chips that are through to the primer, sounds good,
but what should i do where there is a small chip with rust in it?

You can use a Dremel tool to carefully grind off the rust (needs to be done very carefully), and then you can touch in the base of the chip with an anti-rust primer to seal the panel. Then proceed with either a standard stone chip repair adding pigment then lacquer, or else see the Dr Colorchip thread.

Heard all the rave reviews for drcolorchip (Dr. ColorChip fool-proof auto touch up paint kit for chip repair on your car- BMW,Porsche,Ford,Honda,Mercedes,Lexus,Toyota...mos t color codes) so I just bought the roadrash kit for my WR Blue (o2c) wagon. Cost me £50 (inc p&P) and has arrived from Florida within 5 days of ordering. Will be applying it when the weather is not so unpredictable and will post results on here. Everyone swears by it so we'll see.

It really is great stuff mate.
My car har a fair amount of chips and scratches - now it looks absolutely mint.
I am really fussy too.
It even worked on the door handle surrounds which used to really annoy me.

Trust me mate, you'll be happy with the finish, just take your time, big chips need a couple of applications. I've been using it for 4 months now and have machine polished my car and it still looks mint!!
