Try this. Sometimes the translations sound funny, but that is only because it is a direct translation, and some things dont translate directly.

yeah I have used it

add the paint - wait a couple days before you put the clear over it.
I always take a toothpick and add a drop of paint to a chipped area. It will all reduce down to fll the chip and be nearly flush. Then a couple days later do the same for the clear.

take tar remover and throughly clean where your applying the paint so there arent any contaminants.

So I just dab a bit into the chip and it will fill it? What is the consistancy of this? I ask because most of my chips are located on verticle surfaces.. I dont want that **** dripping down.

Can someone post a link or explain what this is. It sounds like I could use it.

Evil - just one small drop off a toothpick will work. It will not run if you don't go putting massive blobs of paint on there. The toothpick holds a perfect sized drop. If it runs just get a damp cloth and rub it off immediately. You can also use a cloth slightly damp with paint thinner and give it one pass over the area to get the fresh paint off. Then quickly clean that area with soapy water and dry. It won't hurt the finish.
