Awesome job!
It only takes a few minutes to get over that fear of using the DA, and then realize how much fun it actually is.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Great work and as Paul mentioned the scare goes away fast. Just be carefull where you can bump into parts and masking tape is a great insurance to do any oops. Otherwise a DA polisher on the paint is safe with some common sense.
Strange about the touch up paint.
Good write up too and pictures. You will do fine on your car too.

Those are large chips on your bumper. You will have to apply Dr Colorchip at least twice to fill in the largest chip. You need to carefully remove the paint that is hanging off of the chipped area. Apply Dr Colorchip once and let dry (maybe overnight) then apply another coat. Normally on small rock chips one coat fills fine, but on large chips it may take more to fill in the area. Be careful with the Sealeac liquid. It’s great for leveling small chips but on large areas it may pull the paint out of the chip. If it does don’t worry just reapply and use less pressure when wiping with the Sealeac liquid. The best thing about Dr Colorchip is that you don’t get the “blob” you normally get with normal touchup pens or paint. You can still use Dr Colorchip like normal touchup paint too. Watch a couple of Dr Colorchip videos prior to application and don’t worry about messing up, the Sealeac fluid will erase any mistakes. Remember you are not going to get 100% perfection, but it should be just about unnoticeable from 10 feet. You will always know it’s there but no one else will notice.
