[@anthonymone9218]

talked to ding master here in Tampa and he said all it is touch-up paint from dealer and lacquer thinner. Because the lacquer thinner will not harm color plus clear coat paint which is most new cars today. He advised to buy the correct color using your vin number at the parts counter of your dealer or brand of car. Also to practice on a chip that is not front and center on your car so you get good at it. But i still gave the thumbs up on this video because it shows his technique. Many people below say Acetone but Ding Master said to pick up lacquer thinner anywhere because it will not lift up acrylic paint unless you leave a soaked rag of thinner on your car overnight. Hope this helps. its what i am doing.

[@TheNAVagator]

I just want to leave a review which combines topics covered in a few of your videos. I followed your advice on my Equinox 2013. I spent a whole weekend on my car. Pressure washed it. Did the headlights. Washed it with the two bucked method. Dried with waffle towel. Clay bar the whole car. Then I used Dr. Chip Fix (which went fairly well, but my paint ships were really big). Polished and Compounded. Then Waxed. My SUV has never looked this good. I bought it in 2014 (was fairly new), and even then, I cannot remember it looking this good. The color has completely changed, it look amazing! To all of you who are thinking about following Canadian Riders advice, All I have to say it, take you time, follow all the steps, and you will 100% be satisfied with the results! Thank You so much!

[@georgemichaels2325]

I have years of paint repair experience. First off, the color will shrink by the next day. The color is the base coat will dry semi gloss. The best way is to dab the color( base coat) using a paint such as RM or Dupont Chromabase or one of the usual high quality paints used in a reputable body shop. Take some urethane( compatible to the paint system) catalyzed clear coat ( mixed in the proper ratio ) add half the usual reducer called for and using a dabber stick. Looks like a tooth pick with a miniature cotton ball on the end and dab enough clear to just fill the hole raised above the surface. Let dry over night. Come back the next morning use a small piece of paint stirring stick. About half inch by three quart inch. Wrap a strip of 1500 grit wet or dry sandpaper several times. So it wraps maybe 8-10 times around the wood block ( it should be about 1/8th thick block). Now with water from a spritz bottle get your block wet and sand the blob of clear back and forth with light to medium pressure until the blob of clear is level. Then go to a 3000 grit and 6 to 10 wet strokes just a little larger then before.Finish with 5000 grit wet or dry. Buy a polish like System 51 polish. You can use an electric buffer or hand rub your factory paint with a micro finishing shop cloth. I recommend System 51 because the compound does not breakdown. It's the compound breakdown that causes the dark colors to look hazy when buffed. I use the same technique for fisheyes in fresh paint. Practice makes perfect. All paint shrinks when it dries. This is why you want to pimple it just above the surface to allow for shrinkage and block sanding. Hope this is helpful.

[@cfldentrepair]

Crazy good results! This kit would go hand in hand with the paintless dent repair process. Sometimes we’ll fix dents that have minor chips in the paint....this would be the icing on the cake in those scenarios ....thanks for sharing!!

[@carswithsonduren]

Thanks Brice really appreciate it! Welcome to the channel

[@mpower1226]

The cheaper and more classic way of fixing it is 1. get a touch up paint, touch it up or make a blob over the chip. 2. take the acetone, put it on the cloth and gently 'level' down the blob to make it flat with surrounding. 3. polish. Exact same idea as this so called chip repair kit. the leveling liquid they sell is basically same as acetone. If you dont want to use the acetone? you can also mix acetone and car polish and make a leveling lotion.

[@carswithsonduren]

Agreed if you want to get a little bit more and doing it yourself this is the exact method thank you for sharing :-)

[@mpower1226]

casiotechI no squeegee. Use toothpick and dab it. U want to create a blob that is higher than surrounding so that you can level it later. Use thinner or acetone.

[@mpower1226]

Also the polishing part after via da orbital is very important

[@chuk90]

Why not at a bit of primer first? Isn't primer fill in the hole so you won't see the divot?

[@Scott_From_Canada]

I have a chip (not too deep) but it is about the size of a dime plus one scratch and several small dings like in this video from driving with a lot of big trucks on the highway. So does this mean I can put a blob of paint in the chip, let it sit for a few minutes, and take nail polish remover (acetone or non acetone?) And wipe off the rest like in this video? I just dont want it to look like crap because it's a MB that I'd like to keep looking as nice as possible.

Hey Keith! Thanks for sharing the results you had as well and I think you shared a great point that the leveler solution really does work well only with the supplied paint as it has a higher solid count and was designed to be used with the leveler solution specifically

Hello everyone from UK. Here we get Chipex, same goo different label. Amazing stuff, has a 24 month shelf life.

You said "lightly" wipe the solution over the paint you just applied to the chip and there is no doubt in my mind you are there SCRUBBING that solution onto the panel!

[@gotaigo]

thx! gives me comfort that an experienced person is providing endorsement.

[@tooldemoguy]

as a side not, you can add multiple layers if it isn't filled. The idea is to fill the "hole" above the baseline of the panel. So you have a mound of paint. As it dries, it will shrink because the reducer releases from the actual paint pigment. So it's important to 1) use a bondo spreader and a cloth over it so that you don't take too much paint material out of the hole. 2) do one or two passes, STOP. Evaluate. 1 or 2 paseses and repeat....

[@dtsect]

But when you use the leveler, isn't it not only going to remove the paint around the chip but also any paint that filled in the chip? So chip will always be a bit lower than the surrounding surface. It's not like the leveler knows where the chip is and avoids removing the paint only in that area.

[@tooldemoguy]

@@dtsect It will remove the paint around the chip, and level the "bubble" you created within the chip, making it even with the painted panel. With experience, being a pro, your end result will be a FLUSH chip :)

Applied rubbing compound using a pad. 5. polished. You cannot even notice where it was.

[@bsfunk44]

There's nothing wrong with filling the chips before you correct the paint as long as the touch up has time to cure before correcting...in fact I prefer doing it that way as it leaves an even better result. But yes the chips must be clean before filling them regardless. And if the chip isn't filled by the touch up, you can repeat the process until it is...using a hair dryer to cure the touch up paint in between applications speeds up the process.

[@shughes911]

I am not ready to do a full paint correction so thx for that info!!

[@TheNewbSauce]

You make it look so easy. Sadly I just don't have the confidence. I have a spot on the edge of my hood about 1/4" down to the metal. It bothers me but it would bother me even more if I jacked it up. Good video , I will have to sleep on it before I make the decision to try this or go get an estimate. Doesn't help that seven year old Starfire Pearl is difficult to match.

[@Kebous1]

Wow! Looks amazing! I have a black RS4 with similar paint chips on the frontal area, and will definitely invest in this! Just went in for full paint correction and protection job, and super happy with the results except for the paint chips - but not interested in re-spraying the front area. This is much better solution :)

[@carswithsonduren]

Okay so me and you have the same problems. Exactly for any kind of minor Stone chips here and there this is the ultimate solution. I was super impressed with the results even for a anal person like me when it comes to paint. 95% of the small to medium paint chips I had literally disappeared the camera couldn't even focus on it anymore. Any major ones like the two described in the video on the front of my hood produced it by 80% you cannot even see it taking a step back.

[@ryancasey4807]

For deeper stone chips if you want perfect results, use single stage glazing spot putty to fill in the depth.

[@ryanoconnell5796]

Yes but then you have to seal it the the putty doesn’t soak in the moisture from the paint and also spot putty is mixed with water and you cant put that directly on metal cause it will most likely rust under the paint. Need to be primed or something. Body filler would be better as putty can shrink as well when it gets cold.

[@ecoonce23]

Love the VDOs, question though, for those of us who live in the city and don't have a garage or access to a water tap, but only a coin auto carwash. What would be the best way to wash the car using the coin wash as to minimise damage to the paint. Cheers!

[@konman5550]

First thing - do not use brush washes. Use only the touchless ones. Cars in the city can get pretty dirty and the grime won’t wash off with those. Ideally there are some car washes that have hand pressure washers. You can use them to do a two-bucket method wash. Soap it up and rinse all the loose debris off the car, use good quality mitten or sponge. He also said he detailed the car. That means he: 1) clay-barred it. Iron-x can work as well or as a supplemental tool to remove brake dust (tiny iron particles that get stuck on your paint and begin to rust through). 2) use paint compound and a polishing machine to remove swirls and light scratches (not through the paint). Even deeper scratches that are not through to the primer can benefit from polishing as Polish will remove dirt stuck in them. 3) use polishing compound to bring shine. 4) diluted isopropyl alcohol to remove any oils and polish from the car surface. You’d probably need a home-boy with a house garage for that though. Then you can touch up paint to your liking. I’m yet to do try that part using this guy’s method. Then wax it or even better - ceramic coat it. I have a white Mercedes and rail dust is a bitch. Living in hot salty humid Florida does not help either. However it’s one of the best colors to have as it repels heat, helps to hide defects from immediate view (chips, even dents) and yet at the same time allows you to see colorful stains from shitty multicolor car wash soaps and orange rusty rail dust and to correct them. It is also the easiest color to color-match! For waxing you can use spray waxes as well as paste waxes. There are also cleaner waxes that help you maintain car shine, cleanliness and protection in between. For light duty you can also use car detailer spray or even Meguiars waterless wash and wax spray in between full-scale cleaning I described above. That is not to swirl paint with tiny road debris hiding on the surface. Hope that helps!

Marvelous! But what sucks is how Chipfixx isn't shipping outside of Canada. Thus, us American Consumers can't buy from them. At any rate, great video.

[@carswithsonduren]

You should check out Dr color chip my friend, it's basically the US equivalent

@@carswithsonduren Yeah I'm reviewing the comparison. Worst case scenario is I Venmo my friend in Canada money so he can ship it to me. Enjoy your weekend man and thanks for the follow-up. You Canadians rock! 😎🤙🏾

Bro... changed my world with this video! I am planning to do the same for my white Mercedes. Looking to buy Langka blob eliminator for leveler as I don’t need whole damn kit (Id rather use Mercedes branded exact match touch up paint) - would that work as well? Another question is - why didn’t you fill the larger chips so that they are leveled?

[@TurboV8boi]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

[@anabolicwindow_7]

How does it hold up in the long term? As in can you use a pressure washer to spray down those rockchips without it coming off? Awesome content!

[@carswithsonduren]

I have had experience with these type of repairs in the past with my 2011 Mustang GT. They hold completely fine after they are set to dry for about a week. So just careful with them for the first week so they completely Harden and then you're good after that

[@Dee--Jay]

i used the paint pen. it came out better.. u no longer see the dent. just sand it down. compound and polish. its more steps but a flawless finish

[@marvino7132]

What was your process to sand down?

[@Dee--Jay]

@@marvino7132 first off, after you use the paint pen... Give it a few days and let it cure. It's going to look ugly in that process. But after that come and sand it down even with 2,000 grit. Sand it until it's even with the rest of the panel and when you run your fingers across, you can't feel the difference. After that same with 3,000 grit and sand past or overlap the 2000 grit slightly. Then compound, then polish. It won't be 100% better but it will be around 95% and the only way you can tell is if you up close on it 1 inch away

[@marvino7132]

@@Dee--Jay yea. I finished the the touch up process. My mounds seem a little high i just finished adding the clearcoat this morning. Kit says i should wait 5 days. Lol it does look ugly for now

[@Dee--Jay]

@@marvino7132 whenever you sand it down and polish the sanding marks out, it will look better (wet sand)

[@marvino7132]

@@Dee--Jay so start off with nothing lower that 2000?

[@johandelarosee6732]

Stunning result! I did some uggly repairs in July. I put some color on the chip and then i put clearcoat on. And after it was done it became a little bubble, Can i get rid of this by using aceton or something? and then use this method to fill it up again? cheers

[@carswithsonduren]

Yes you can try acetone to remove the old repair :)

[@larkthomas3371]

I just got a paint chip on my pearl Lexus IS250... 😫😫😫

[@millerfisherman1989]

Nice work! No matter how light and how little solution I use, it always pulls the paint out of the chip unfortunately. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong

[@carrieray1478]

Same here

[@carswithsonduren]

Let the paint dry longer and try again

[@waynedharsan5288]

A toothpick and sealer paint works the best ... doing it for over 30 years

[@wordlife_97]

Can you explain more pls

[@guccimartinez5803]

Wayne Dharsan yes tell us more you have any social media we can contact you on

[@MrJohndo18]

Sealer paint what that? I've been using actuall car paint custom mixed to the color of the car with a fine tipped brush. Toothpick works well too

[@waynedharsan5288]

Dealer paint stick

[@MichaelDiVincenzo]

@@waynedharsan5288 I am curious about this process on my Mercedes 2020 which has a minor chip and was thinking to go the paint pen route. The paint is tri-coat Digital White Metallic and according to www.automotivetouchup.com that sells paint pens they suggest a primer paint pen, my color which needs a groundcoat and a midcoat and then a clear coat on top. Hence the tri-coat paint. They sell all 4 paint pens for $34. Any thoughts

[@meejmuas8686]

I did this with dr colorchip on my jaguar f type. The result is that the divot is not flush with the surrounding paint. If you use the solvent to level the paint, no matter how many times I tried, going light as possible on the caved in part, it still removes the top surface layer of the painted chip. So I was always left with a small caved in groove. Instead of using the solvent, I wet sanded until flush after letting the paint dry but the color was still not flush even though the surface was. So it might be a paint match issue (ordered the exact color from their website too), or the filled in paint sits higher than the surrounding base paint. In this video, if you look closely, you can still see the divots left behind but like he said, the chip color is masked. I think my expectation were too high. If you want a colored in divot that isnt as noticeable, id go with this but for it to truly disappear, you'll need a method that flattens out the new paint with the pre existing base coat around it

[@1111vip1111]

Professional 👍🏻

[@footdickbubblehair]

I have a white GTI and tried Dr Colorchip and wasn't impressed. The color didn't even match after a few months and turned into a darker/off white color. If they can't even get white correct I don't have much faith in them.

[@simpleshoes]

When I buy a car, I’ll take it in any colour as long as it’s black. 😊

Lol. Thats not any colour. Its any car

BEWARE !!!!! I had a chip I wanted to repair on my brand new Porsche Panamera in Volcano Grey, ordered the kit from Chipfixx and received what looked like black, I thought well they know best let me use it maybe it dries grey… it didn’t… now I have a black mark on my car, I told them the issue and they said they will send me a light grey so I can mix it myself to get the color!!!! I had to take my car to a professional paint shop to have them fix the mess Chipfixx caused.

[@ro-landocalrissian4633]

Yeah but what about chips with rust? Do you have any videos on taking care of the rust before you paint?

[@carswithsonduren]

You will need to spot sand the rust in that case.

[@nicolascandelario3327]

Hey bro Did u do paint restoration first then use the pain chip fixer after car was striped from containment IE clay bar etc and after paint chip fixer did you wax the vehicle?

Correct that is exactly what you need to do those steps

Really glad it helped you out brother welcome to the channel 🥳

[@ChasiubaoYumYum]

Can you answer my 2 questions? 1. How come you did not add a clear coat where you finished the touch up? 2. If I used an aerosol can instead of paint and brush, can you still use that clean leveler on that and still work?

[@carswithsonduren]

1. Based on the size of these chips you do not need a clear coat. 2. I would not spray the aerosol directly onto the paint instead I would spray aerosol paint on to a brush and then brush the paint onto the chip:-) then use the leveler

[@ChasiubaoYumYum]

OOoooh good idea, I never thought of that trick :) Thanks for the tips haha!

[@MowSow]

Unpwnable Just spray inside an old can plastic cap, then dap the brush in the paint whenever you need to get more paint

Super helpful video. Can you polish the paint after doing this?

Yes but after a few weeks of drying

[@15DurangoRT]

Actually black is NOT horrible for showing paint chips or imperfections. It's the BEST color to show them.

[@dalriada842]

That depends on your perspective. I have a black car. Not only does it show every chip and swirly, but it gets dirty almost immediately after cleaning. Never again will I buy a black car! Though it does look good for a few nanoseconds after cleaning.
