Does anyone use or know of colored wax that matches (or close) truck colors.

Or

How do you deal with small paint chips that show up on hood, etc.

Thanks

 

that crap don't work! don't wase your time or money, insted buy a nice wir brush kit and tape it all off and repaint and re clear coat and sand it down and buff it out. seems like allot but it works and its not that bad.

 

Someone told me about some colored crayon that goes along with the colored turtle wax...I have paint chips on my front bumper and after I put a coat of wax on it the chips now look like white specs...I'm gonna try the turtle wax crayon to see if it works on my black bumper...

 

For minor chips, clean the area real good and get all the grease/wax off the area. then use a very fine-tipped artist's brush to "dot" the paint in the chipped area.

 

Um, i dont know if it will work, i have the stuff, in black too actually, I used it on my old eclipse. I didnt really work, i think only if they are like really minor will it work, and then it still wasnt all that great. If i still had a black car i would try it again to make sure, but i dont so i cant really, if i can get a friend of mine to let me use their car i'll tell you the results.

 

I cry myself to sleep.

 

To fill a scratch or chip perfectly: (have done this on 10 different cars and works awsome each time)

1. Use the factory touch up paint to first fill in the scratch or chip as even as you can.

2. Let it dry then go back over the scartch or chip with more touch up paint but you dont have to worry about being careful, youll want to actually "over paint" the area some so the edges of the scartch or chip get pianted. (youll get some on the good paint as well , dont worry though it comes of no problem)

3. Let it dry, then use a non textured paper towel with a small amount of LAQUOR thinner on it to gently remove the excess touch up paint. (make sure its laquor thinner and not enamel thinner or your clear coat with get f'ed up real nice) Do not rub to hard or the paint inside the crack or chip will also come off on the towel. Do not use a terry cloth towel as you will get pieces of cloth stuck in the paint as well and leave a weird texture to the paint once its dry.

4. Once the excess is removed spray detailer wipe over it and dry with a rag. This will remove any left over thinner.

5. The scratch or chip will be 100% filled and will not be visable from a standing distance. (depending on how bad the damage is of course)

This is THE easiest way to get a good result. Do not worry about the thinner hurting your paint. I have used this method on my current white lightning twice and my 99 black truck 4-5 times. Works perfect every time

 

Thanks so much..

 

no problem

 

Thanks from me too!

 

@ cyntaxx ....

 

The only thing colored wax is good for is staining your hands.


It's a "As Seen On TV" BS product.

 

anything for a fellow owner

 

My wife bought a used Eagle Talon a few weeks before we met about 9 years ago. Right about the time when the commercials where all over TV for the colored wax.
The first time she washed it she called me up, almost in tears, alll upset, saying she ruined the paint on her car but did not know how...
I went over to her house and she showed me the green towel she just used to wash he green car but said the towel was white when she started. After closer inspection I could see all the coloerd wax in the gaps of the body panels. Needless to say we brought the car back to the dealer and demanded the paint the car and the did. Stuff is worthless, unless you wanted to try and scam somebody like the person did that traded in the Talon.
A year or so later I had a friend that had his Talon repainted under a recall from Eagle.
Stay awayfrom the stuff.

 

I used that when I had my 91 5.0 LX. It looked good until it got rained on and the sun beat on it for a week or so. When that happens you'll get to see where the black pigment is because it all gets bleached out and looks like crap. Everyone is right-don't waste your money.
