Default Dr Colour chip alternative

I bought some of this stuff for my RB5 a couple of years ago.
The company was in the US and it cost around £50, with alot of the price being shipping.

Has anyone come across a similar product that gives good results, GB based?

For those that don't know its a paint product that is rubbed over areas of bodywork, for example, stone chipped bonnets/bumpers and it covers the area completely and a solution rubs off the excess after only 2 minutes.
Cracking product that really works.

I just don't really want to pay another £50

Just get touchup paint from a dealer n use thinners n polish up afterwards. Does exactly the same job n costs about 1/10th of the price of one of those 'kits' I assume you still have the glove n proper brush so u can still flat n touchup the paint.

Thinners.......Is that all it is?

Looks like a decent alternative then.

Well not exactly no, but thinners, or white spirits or methylated spirits, do the same job, you just have to be careful with it n not rub too hard or use too much. I usually dab thinners onto the paint that needs to be removed sparingly immediately after the paint in the chip has dried off. Then polish it.
