    I have used it. Very good success on my black 348 front bumper and hood. Follow the directions exactly.

    Know of a guy on another forum that used it on his vehicle, initially his front bumper looked HORRIBLE, afterward it looked so much cleaner. Follow the instructions and I'd say you'll have good results.

    So here's how it works-- the color matched paint is semi-tacky and doesn't adhere as well to the clearcoat surfaces as it does to the chipped "holes." You dab some paint into the holes (chips) and let it set up a little. Then you use some "secret sauce" (ie, probably alcohol based) paint thinner that they give you and rub the spot to get off the excess that is not in the hole (chip) proper. You can continue to apply coats until the "hole" is filled all the way to the base paint.

    I did this on a white 1997 Porsche 911 (993). The prior owner had a gravel driveway (I kid you not!). This filled in the chips well. But it still didn't completely remove the chips. Nevertheless, I was happy with the results.
