Actually i only just realised myself looking at previous photos of my car and photo's of it now , even comparing those pics in those links to my avitar , the car has so much more a deeper blue color and shine to it , allthough i must admit i gave the car a good polish with some RE-PO cream polish premium carnauba wax to give it that nice dark wet look after i toutched it up with the TurtleWax chipstik and color polish - the car looks much better now than when i bought it imo !

I bought the stuff at super cheap auto , u can get it from k-mart / big-w , pretty much any car/auto supply house , pretty common stuff being a turtle wax product . For now , if your gonna try the stick anyway , Althought the stick does seem hard as a rock , dont be scared of it scratching your paintwork , it wont ;) . This chip-stick needs to applied really hard across the chips , to fill them quick and solid , color in with the chipstick like a kid would with a texta ( push really hard and back and forth fast ) , the excess needs to be polished off with an open weave cloth for best results, then apply the polish after your finished to bring the shine back again ;) . As i was saying though , if you having any trouble with the chipstick , just yell ;) , im no expert / took a few attempts first few times to get top results / but i recon i've got it down pat now ..lol Oh by the way , congrads on the purchase of ya new car . I would of liked a black XR, but got my galaxy blue xr for a steal / couldn't resist . #1 colour to me is the black xr's , then the monsoon blue , then the galaxy blue , so i got my 3rd choice ..lol . I Hope it serves you well .

Just used it. Hides the "white" area of the chip but would take hours and hours of work to eventually fill all the chips. I have some sandblasting (light) on the bonnet I'll try on a warmer day to see if the black turtle wax helps hide it.I'll let you know if it is worth the $21. At least the stick hides the mark if not fill it.
