Had similar results with a touch up pen on this Land Rover. The "After" pic I actually took to bring out the scratch the way the light was hitting it. In normal light you really have to look to find it.

Good job. My Dr. Colorchip results were much less stellar.

Seems like results are a bit mixed, but i've got a TON of road rash on my front bumper so hopefully this will help fix that.

Well, I found it didn't work too well if I took even one shortcut (like not removing wax, or wiping the chemical off, etc....). Of course, I tried all the shortcuts and then finally took the time to do it just right and had much better luck.

I'm betting different colors will have better or worse success too.....

Good review and nice pics. I often wondered if it worked after seeing the the ads. I think I will give it a try in the future.

Yeah, I'd have some reservations about that too since pearl white is usually a three stage paint application. Pretty hard to replicate in just a single application.

Anyone else try Dr. Colorchip and how did it work out for you? I've gotten to the point of not being able to stand the scratches on my car and am looking for a cheapish fix.

Here's a great thread over on a Porsche forum on how to make Dr. Colorchip work even better.
