Been itching to try this kit out since it showed up on Saturday, but what with the weather and other goings on I haven't had time until now. I've just finished touching up 4 or 5 chips on my car (many more to go ) and have to say the kit is very good.
The first thing that impressed me was straight forward process, this didn't stop me reading the steps 2 or 3 times though just so I was 100% on exactly what I needed to do (being a novice at this stuff the last thing I wanted was to miss a small but vital step just because I was rushing at the job like a numpty) Then i had a look at the colour of the paint (not much point in carrying on if this isn't right) and it was spot on I hope you're paying attention Seat dealers!!!!
So I applied the paint to the freshly prepared area and after I was happy I allowed it to dry for a few minutes (didn't take too long as it was pretty warm out) then I removed the excess paint with the blending solution taking special care not to apply too much pressure (as the instructions say the solution really does do the work so don't be tempted to be too heavy handed) once again when I was happy I let this settle for a few minutes before applying the polish.
Then I applied a small amout of polish to the area and allowed it to stand for a few minutes before buffing off, stepping back and admiring my handy work That really is all there is to it, most of the time is spent waiting for the paint or the solution to dry before moving to the next step. A couple of the stone chips were quite deep which requires repeating the first two steps until you build up the paint level enough.
All in all a very well designed and easy kit to use and I would recommend it to anybody who needs to repair the dreaded stone chips on their car, especially before they opt for the cheaper but ultimately messy and poor finish of a touch up stick from the dealers (I've used them before and won't be using them ever again now). With a steady hand and patience you can get really good results with this, I have to admit that once or twice upon returning to the car during the drying process I had trouble locating the area I was working on as the paint match is that good!
Big thumbs up from me and with the group discount I would urge anybody who is toying with the idea to get in there now.
