    Chips Ahoy!

    The front end of my car had hundreds of rock chips.



    I had it touched up by a professional. Just look at the anmazing transformation



    I have not done anything to the touched up bumper except wash it. It has been 7 days since the work was done.

    I bid on the service at an auction raising money for the Concours our Jaguar club is putting on. I won it with a $100 bid. The coupon said $185.00 value. For an additional $90 she touched up all the nicks and scratches around the car.

    Can you give some more details on the process or products? I've heard of a product where you wipe the touchup paint on, let it sit, and then wipe the excess off. My bumper is in the same shape...my hood too.

    I don't know what process/ products they used. I suspect it was something like you describe as it took less than a day to complete the job.
