I hear ya about the chips really standing out after a wax, really kinda sad
I got the biggest one they offered, it has a lot of paint in it (at least 3 OEM pens worth), I think you'll be ok with that one. I also ordered the little rubber squeegee thing they have, some recommend a credit card, but IMO it's worth the $2 to throw in your order.

Don't worry about letting it dry, it'll come off even after an hour or 2, deeper scratches have to be built up over several applications.

I've used the approach Rochester mentioned with success on my truck, it just takes a lot of time and effort. I used one of these, it's a 2K grit sanding block, soaked overnight in car wash/water mixture.

Hopefully the $59 RoadRash kit will indeed be enough for my countless chips, thanks for the squeegee tip too.

Thanks a lot, haven't been through the New Mexico Las Vegas in a couple years. Used to go through on our way to Denver a couple times a year, nice country up there. Now the Nevada version of Las Vegas is another story, 4 to 5 weeks a year we're up there, lol. Gotta get my Poker fix ya know

MUCH better photos, newt! Close enough to see the details, but not so close as to see the flaws. Good focus, and soft lighting. Very nice.

The clear wrap would certainly help prevent paint ships, but is entirely pointless advice for Newt's three year old car.



Want to do something fun? Try reading that guy's post out loud with a dumb caveman voice.

Those pics look better blnewt. I wonder how that bumper would look with the fake vents drilled out instead of solid. I feel like it'd look good, would be very time consuming though.
