mate... totally agree, iv a cheat way to hide stonechips tho!!!

Which is?

 

[jeffro]

basically, fully clean car, get a colour matched tin of spray

get a lint free cloth, rol it/twist it up so uv a nice thick corner, soak it in spray, wipe it across scratch dnt be sparse, let it dry, if the scratch is depe or stoenchip is deep buil it up, i used to dap the paint soaked cloth on stonechips! polish off with autoG super resin but polish the oppsitie way to scratch/chip i.e if the scratch is vertical then polish horizontal , (hard work bit) do a couple of tiems depending how anal you are with cleaning..... even light scratches just wipe across one, dry.. polish off and you wont eb able to see it!

lets put it this way i had 3 days off work... i spent all 3 cleaning detailing de-scratching and stonechipping, also had a nasty key mark in the rear quarter which was veryyyy deep, neways 3 days later looked liek valeted showroom condition!!

i couldnt tell u what make of paint it is as i use a professional paint shop to mix it forme....! but dont use halfords or cheap stuff autoglymm will just pul it straight back off its not hard enuff to withstand the abrasion

It's not the stone chips that get me, it's car parking dings etc.

I park my car as far away as I can from idiots, rather walk extra few mins then park between/next to a s**t looking car or family wagon.

 

[jeffro]

i go traford center alot... i always gt an end space and usualy half mout the curb so the next car can fling there door open like an idiot and stil not touch the clio, the mk2's ding so easily and they dont liek been 'dentmastered' liek sum other cars
