Has anyone ever tried it? I have a few pretty bad chips on my front bumper so I ordered up their Squirt 'n Squeegee Kit. I figured for $65 I'd give it a shot before paying $1200 to have the front resprayed. I suspect this process is similar to what I had done on the S2000 years ago at Dent Kraft.

I thought you had your front end repainted? I need to do something on the vette too, was thinking of repainting the front bumper but maybe this will be good enough.

I was planning on it, but the estimate was far higher than I considered justifiable considering it'll just keep happening. I'll let you know how well it works!

I used the kit yesterday afternoon, overall I would rate it a 4/5. Is it a perfect, professional, finish where it looks like the bumper was fully repainted? No. Overall, it looks very good though, way better than before, and definitely a better job than could be done with a bottle of touch-up paint! For $65, I am quite satisfied and will continue to use it. The smaller chips filled in perfectly the first time, but the larger ones will likely need a 2nd application. For anyone wanting to do some rock chip repairs, I would recommend this product.

Sadly, no. I am basically the anti-Scheides when it comes to taking pictures in the garage. There wouldn't be much to see though...rock chip, to no rock chip :)
The $65 kit came with everything needed, and I still have quite a bit leftover so I'll be fixing chips for a while with this kit. I plan to just give the bumper a quick once over after every roadtrip and cruise. I fixed a few random stone chips elsewhere on the car as well.

To complete my spring paint correction project I also got a bottle of Meguiar's ScratchX 2.0 to take care of a few random scratches, scuffs, and scrapes. It also did a good job! The product has definitely improved since the original came out years ago.

Rather impressive actually, after this work the paint is still looking nearly flawless :D

I need to use both the above products again. My July roadtrip did a number on the car, and I've been too lazy the past few months to do it! Maybe I'll be productive this weekend...maybe ;)
