Dr Colorchip - Any experience? Any other ways without PPFing?
Hi all,
I'm wondering if any of you have tried or used Dr. Colorchip to address rock chips on your bumper or hood? Any before and after pics would be super!!
Also I'd be interested in anyone who has done anything else to address rock chips besides PPF. Not really a big fan of how PPF looks. Do detailers have any other ways to address rock chip repairs without necessarily needing to respray for minor chips?
Thanks all

It takes some practice to master and I like to build up layers over a few days to get a good result, but I’ve been well satisfied with the outcome.

Yes, great product although I use it a bit differently.

Thanks. When you get around to it I'd be interested in some before and afters. Your car looks great by the way.
I think I'll do the same with the multiple layers to the point where it is completely flush.

As long as the chip is reasonably small it works well. I am NOT a fan of PPF and have had multiple cars with low front end / long exposed hood (Corvettes, Cayman, 911, etc.). I've learned over the years if you make a real effort to NOT follow closely behind others, especially at high speed, you can dramatically reduce the number of chips your vehicle receives.

I'm not a big fan of Dr. Colorchip, maybe it's just me and my clumsy hands, but they never look right.
I always fee like if you don't like PPF (and there's nothing wrong with not liking PPF), then just enjoy the rock chips, er, I mean, patina that naturally develops with your ownership of the car. Consider a badge of personalized ownership.

Still waiting for delivery of my 992 should be here next month as on the boat. I got the factory front ppf
What I do to fix a chip is use a fine brush and drop it in the chip so it’s a bit higher than level then use a micro fibre cloth with methylated spirits or alcohol and polish of the excess gets a reasonable finish with no overpainting

Here were my chip locations at 30k miles on my 992 C4S…

There’s no magic solution to fixing them. It’s more a function of skill than anything else. Dr Color Chip is just offering a package.
