Washed the S yesterday and noticed that after the winter I need to spend a few happy hours ( ) elapsed time taking out the stone chips - no scratches fortunately.

Then did a search on 'stone chips' in the wash and wax forum and came up with a bewildering variety of methodologies - hypodermic needles, matchsticks, paint pencils, Langka, wet and dry on pencil erasers, GT88 and so on.

Also ran across the statement that all stone chips are not created equal - which is true.

And I have also noticed that SC's Peter the Painter has offered as a personal favour to ianl to 'finish off' the detailing of a small scratch if ianl fills it with layers of touchup first - what does this entail?

I wondered whether it might be worth assembling a few tried and tested methodologies and maybe stuffing them in the FAQ - if Neil is willing.

 

hear hear....i've got a few small chips that i need to fill so any help would be very useful.

 

Could be useful - the front of my car appears to have terminal acne.

My attempts at touching them up have made them look even worse

 

MCB the softest of colours. The Scooby DBM (dark blue metallic) is the same, by far the easiest to stone chip for some reason

 

That's definitely true I'm going to have to respray the front of mine because of the amount of stonechips on it.

 

I wouldnt dare try and do stone chips myself But thats more about my incompetence rather than the fixing of them

Should have gone for a faster colour Euan

 

I've heard very good things about Langka, but think you need lots of patience to do it.
