I have used it on my Polar Silver car and while the color matched perfectly, you have to completly fill the chips in order for them to disappear as in the video. This may take several applications depending on the depth of the chip...

Hope that helps.

Took them twice to get my Zenith Blue to match but in the end it was very good. But, can't get much depth to chips, hard to build it up to surface level. Next time around I'll try and go lighter when doing the solvent so as hopefully not wipe out as much paint.

I'm getting some rash on the spokes of my 02 rims, anybody know what the color code is by chance?

Dr. Colorchip's Polar Silver matched very nicely. I have found dealer touch-up paints to be so far off you're better off to pick something up at the local parts store.

I let mine dry overnight with no issues other than it takes a little more time for the wiping fluid to do it's job. A guy from Dr. Color Chip was at PCA Parade and said that wiping off the excess paint can be done even a year or two later. I've found that, the longer you let the paint dry, the more solvent and time it takes to remove the excess paint, which isn't a bad thing.

+1 Let the solvent chemical do the work in removing the excess paint. Rubbing too much will remove all the paint in the chip. Be patient and don't rush or panic. Let the paint dry for a few hours, then wipe. At first, it will seem like the excess paint isn't coming off, but the wiping fluid will gradually loosen up the excess paint and remove it.

I've spent a lot of time filling chips only to remove all the paint by not letting it dry long enough and/or wiping too aggressively.

My concern was around not being able to remove the excess paint if I waited too long. IIRC the instructions said wait 2 minutes???? I'll try waiting awhile longer although I know I have at least one spot where the excess paint has not come off.
Its back to the drawing board I guess (probably operator error )
