Mike Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 OK, so I'm too lazy to look and 'I respect your recommendations' (I do, honestly) I need someone to make my car look new again.... 1. I have a small (but annoying) chip on my bonnet - just noticed it last weekend on the first wash of the new year 2. Someone pulled around the front of the car in a car park over Christmas resulting in a slight scuffed bumper 3. A window cleaner (would you believe it?) scratched my spat over Christmas cleaning windows at my folks house - car safely tucked up the drive.... where did that scratch come from?! Anyone know somewhere good that won't remove my eye for taking out a few scraps? I'm based in Pompey, but Southampton is also good - or near Middlesbrough? (which I'm around fairly regularly).. As ever, Cheers..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilocruzy Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Chipbusters, top quality but pricey...

Pig Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 this chips away thing...is it expensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francis Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I'd consider this too... have a few very small dents in the doors which I'd like to get rid of and also a mini dent on the bonnet as well as a few stone chips. What sort of dents are they able to make disappear? Anyone given Toyota touch up sticks/lacquer a try? I've got a set matched to my paint colour here, haven't gotten around to it yet though - any tips for the application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxv8 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 i used to have a chipsaway franchise...all i can say is get some recomendations from someone that has used them before... as because its a franchise the finish is only as good as the person doing the job...and trust me the jobs vary a lot...as i have even had to re-do repairs that others have not done very well...just my 10p worth...
