Chipex

[Jon D]

Has anyone tried the above to repair minor stone chips? Their website has a video clip which looks pretty impressive.
My car's not even four months old and I already have about ten chips around the front end. Unavoidable, I know, and especially at this time of year but still a sad sight .
Any alternative suggestions also welcome - thanks all.

I'd suggest an application of 3M clear film to the frontal aspect of the car. Works very well, and is easy to remove/reapply if damaged (but it is much more resilient than paintwork).

Googled it; looks good but no agents in my area. Thanks anyway.

I have used chipex before and got reasonable results, what i did notice was you need a lot of patience with it as you need to build the paint up over a few applications to get a decent finish.
