Dr. Colorchip???
 
I have a 14 RX Stargazer with minor random chips. I'm thinking of trying out this product verses traditional touch up paint.

I'm just wondering if anyone here has tried it and what the pros and cons may be of this product.

I like it because you do not need to sand the blob off, but instead you use their reducer to remove it. It's safer.

Good product. No real cons. Do have to be careful not apply too much pressure when applying the reducer product, as it does remove the touch up paint pretty easily. Would highly recommend the product overall. Have used it for several chips over the past 5 years.

To avoid this, and this works 100% of the time for me, is to wrap the white towel that comes in a kit around a sanding block or something similar in shape (like the CQ Finest foam applicators which are block shaped). Pretty much no chance of removing the paint inside the chip like you would with just holding the towel in your hands.

several examples already on the forum.... check the search function for many other threads :thumbup:

general consensus is that it's a great option for touch up repairs
