1. You're supposed to place the drop NEXT to the chip and gently smear it across chip with a gloved finger or squeegee. Seems unorthodox, but that's the way it's supposed to be done. Then let dry 10-15 minutes or so. 2. Wipe away excess with the SealAct but hold the white cloth FLAT while wiping away excess. If you finger it like in the video, you will gouge out and wipe away the new paint in the chip. Keep it flat, and gently rub or you will have to make multiple applications to keep filling in the chip. If you do it correctly, it can be done 1st time or might take a 2nd.

I like how you can see his discerning face in the reflection as he patches the scratch.

Thank you for this video! Everyone puts up a video and only shows the first touchup and the crater of the chip is always so visible! Like how you went over it several times and sharing it. It looks great!

Been using the Doctor for about 10 years. It does a great job correcting chips and small deep scratches. The key is to take your time, multiple applications. From 3 ft. spots are virtually unnoticeable. Love the car.

I used the same exact method that you used and for some reason I continually pulled out the paint from the chip area. Yours turned out pretty good.

hey man great video. Really cool of you to take an already complicated experience of correcting a paint chip and add the filming aspect on top. Not easy to do alone! Thanks and cheers.

I appreciate the video. My son got a scratch on the side of his car and i was contemplating this kit. i like that you did multiple applications to show that a deep scratch needs more work and patience.im ordering the kit today

Great vid! In process of getting a new daily driver, felt like I was stuck in black because it does not show the rock chips as bad (as I drive HWY and get a lot of them). I think this product is awesome and your video was spot on, great demo! I'm not a fan of paint pens. Someone needs a Dr. Colorchip sponsorship!

Solid video. Thank you for this!

thanks for the review, very helpful. awesome car!!!!

Try watching the DrColorChip videos; you were doing it wrong. For a deep chip you need the squeegee. And you need a longer drying time. You weren't waiting long enough for the first application to dry, so when you went to apply the SealAct, you just scooped still-wet paint out when you took the top layer off. You were using your fingertips on the white towel - you need to use flat fingers and wipe gently. I'm sure if you followed the correct application procedures, you'll get a near-perfect finish. Also, with the squeegee method, you can cover dozens of fine stone chips in one pass. Not a cheap kit, but you can get great results! :-)

Well I'm definitely going to try it. Thanks for the great video ❤

That came out pretty damn good 👍🏼

Looks like there is a learning curve but it did the job. Awesome

Just ordered a basic repair kit for my crystal white pearl WRX. It's a tri-coat paint so I've read regular touch up paint will generally look bad. I'm excited to try out this kit. I suppose the secret is in their blending solution.

I have just brought a very similar kit for my 2016 Audi A4 and this video was very helpful to see your method and what worked. Great video i subscribed!

I wish I had the results you have. I watched every tutorial on this thing even called them and I just couldn’t get my gray metallic Toyota paint job to work quite right. There was always a smudge if you remove the smudge you would remove the paint that you put in the chip to begin with.

Awesome video. Thank you! This mini scratch on my hood been giving me ocd. I accidentally dinked it with a spoiler I was adding 🤣😓

Very helpful. Thank you.

Great video. Sorry about the chip!!

You have to wipe the paint off with the solution with little to no pressure to prevent the paint in the scratch to be removed

Wow man it looks good

Great Vid Bruh....

Thank you! Love your vids, bc of them I got the wind deflectors and Rock Guards. Bummer you got that chip but great job on filling in.

i always wondered if this combination would work with wet sanding or rubbing compound after it cures.

Thanks for posting this I have a 2017 STI and have full hood front fenders and lower rocker panels all PPF. My doors did not get PPF I have a few small chips I will try this

Ohhh man thank you so much for the tip I’m definitely gonna order mine soon for my 2020 Mazda 3 soul red metallic, it really sucks these stone chips 😫😤 what I might do after is getting a protective film coat or ceramic coating to protect my paint for a couple of years...

Great work and beautiful mirror gloss on your car. Can we can an update on how this product has held up to the environment

Nice car and good work! Blue is difficult!

I didn’t buy a brand new car so that’s my reasoning to why i didn’t get protection on my car but my bumper has many rock chips and powder comes off when i drive in the highway & makes my bumper look ugly, so definitely trying this for now since i plan on replacing it anyways.

Buy touch up paint, clean area with alcohol, use paint thinner and dab chip for paint adhesion, dab paint on chip and let dry for awhile, wet sand with 2500 then 3000. Compound, polish and wax.

I know this is three years old at this point, but why was there no clear coat involved in the process? Does the paint not require it?

It didn't work for me, luckily there are only three chips so far 😀... As you can see in the video, the product puts protection in the hole to prevents humidity that eventually create Rust. But it is not level with the paint. Even that I spend 4 hours doing it.. In other words, it is not a filler, just a protector... The factory Touch Up gave me better results...Thanks

this is a great video, definitely saved this one for future use (hopefully not) but these things happen

I totally agree with Scotty B most video leave important details out. Making their videos less informative.

Good job! I never had any good results when I tried it. I guess I don't have the touch.

Turned out great!

Looks like you are supposed to put the paint next to the chip and smear it in. That stops you pulling the paint out.

Great demo. I have my kit coming in the mail. I'm definitely going to do the squeegee method, rather than smearing with the glove. Liked!

Great video! JUST had a piece of concrete fall off of a concrete truck and chip the paint on my brand new Chrysler 300😡😡..... is it ok to fill in the chip with clear nail polish until I can get my hands on this kit???

Do you have pearl in ur paint? If so, I would recomcond you get touchupdirect. Their kit come with 3 layers. Base color, mid coat(pearl) and clear coat. Just polish each coat and it work wonders.

Off topic CarGuy, but are you aware of how to adjust the Supra headlights. May be a good video for you to film as no internet information is out there (including U-tube). I think I see under the hood above the lights two ports that are circled with arrows. One for up and down and one for left and right. That be them ?

How long did you wait inbetween applications? I did coat 1 and then used more paint but still trying to level it as best I can

Great timing! I just noticed a scratch on the hood of my downshift blue Supra. Would you recommend this kit for scratches too or is there a better way of dealing with them?

You’re supposed to put your paint drop outside the hole and then drag the paint over the hole when you put the paint in the hole and drag it you’re just pulling paint out of your chip hole

For a car like that I would def wrap it with something like xpel ppf

Do they make a clear coat? So you can re-color, and then fill hole with clear, so that it matches the car.

The same thing happened to me with my 2020 Toyota Tacoma Off-Road Edition :-( I was driving it home from the dealership and they were doing road construction on like 40% of the road back to my house and there was only 1 lane going in each direction so I couldnt leave the construction area, I dont know if it was a vehicle going in the opposite direction that kicked up a rock and it hit my tailgate or if it was my truck that kicked up the rock and it hit my tailgate but it hit the top of my tailgate and chipped off the paint leaving a white mark where the paint was :-( luckily I dont think that it dented it but it did chip off the paint where it hit. I am going to see how much it costs for a Toyota dealership to repair it professionally though because I want to get the truck wrapped in paint protection film to prevent future paint chips afterwards. Hopefully the Toyota dealership doesnt charge too much to fix it and they can get rid of the indent in the paint.

Great video, I am getting a clear bra on the front of my new car but I am sure I may need this in the future for the areas that aren't protected.

Good job. You should have placed paint NEXT to the chip and squeegee it into the chip. It is very easy. Do not worry....the Sealact will remove the excess paint off. I actually took the paint and smeared it all over the hood, a trunk lid, and the roof of my old corolla, it covered about 500 chips.

If you put the sealact rag around a piece of wood or something flat, it will even the paint to the rest of the car, instead or digging it back out.

hi, how long do we need to wait for the paint to dry. I tried this one and wait for the paint to dry, i touch the paint and it is not going to my gloves anymore. I applied the sealact but it also removes the paint in my chip.

You need to watch the Dr ColorChip how to video

If you read and watch the videos from them, they say direct dabbing in the chip is what not to do. I've never used it but I would likely try the reccomended directions first. Still a helpful real world experience

does anyone know if after it "cures" can you polish and wax your car like normal?

Great job. Costs?

It came really good man, and your color is not that forgiving, lets see how I do with a dark gray camaro

I’ve never seen one these videos where the divot actually gets filled in, regardless of the number of attempts or technique. Everyone gives up and says it’s good enough from a few feet away.

Probably just caught someone else’s rock kick up

What’s the squeegee for?

Dude…If u actually followed the instructions to smear it on or squeegee it u wulda had an easier tome doing it…. 👎🏻

Fill it and wet sanding and it looks like repainted, with this you still see the hit…

From where can i get dr. colorchip

Fffffffuck. I guess the stuff isn't magic. I have a 2020 widebody challenger. There's a chip twice this size on the inside of the passenger door.its where the door meets the body but it's big enough you can see it when the door is closed. That kind of odd spot my guess is my wife's purse or gym bag or something got it.. never used touch up paint before. I have a feeling I won't be happy after watching this video. I guess I'll try putting on layer after layer. 6 or so if need be to level it out. Oh well. No other options I guess. Thanks for the video!

I mean its not perfect but atleast it is great

Over fill the chip then level the hole with a razor blade then clean it

I think you sold me! Is that the $44.95 basic kit?

This is why my car is covered in PPF

You probably could have done it quicker and better if you didn’t use your fingers on the cloth to rub the excess… I would have use that cloth on a foam ceramic coating foam block to act as a leveler… the cross cross pattern works block, would prevent the low spot action you get from a finger rub wit a towel.

Lawn mower/weed whacker probably kicked up a small rock at that rear panel. Gotta watch out for neighbors or businesses who hire landscapers to mow their properties.

are you anti squeegee or something?

You’re not supposed to put the paint directly into the chip

Doesn’t work so well

i think your being way to hard on your self my guy that chip was patchily gone need a magnified glass to see that thing now lol

"Supra"

you are doing it wrong - put a blob beside the chip and squeegee it over. That is how they do it in the Dr. Colorchip video.

That looks like shit you need the one that has the tiny sanding edge to knock the hard edges off then you won’t have the hole….

Good job can barely see.

From what I have seen on KZfaq howto videos, you did it wrong.

Dude is not even following the basic instructions... You never fill the paint chip directly...you're supposed to drop the paint NEXT to the chip and they smear it over. This prevents creating the crater that you are seeing... Smh

Toyota puts cheap paint

So you did exactly how it’s NOT suppose to be done and that’s why the results were crappy. However, if this was a video of what NOT to do, well then you succeed.

This product sucks its fake.. Canadian one is better

So let me get this straight you didnt 3m a car that you love....sorry bud but that's your own fault imo
