Washed my car this morning, and knew today was going to be a bad day when I unravelled my hose to find it split in about 5 places, anyway

I have 3 small stone chips on front of my car. All under 2 mm but feel and look awful

I have a White car and the chips are black?!? What layer is this, as guessing primer would be grey or White, and metal would be metallic colour?

Also what's best way to repair these, guessing too deep for t-cut scratch remover, what about touch up stick?

Yeah it will be primer. You will have to touch it up. When I do mine I goin to the paint shop and buying half litre of my colour and touching them in with a very fine brush then polish it until you get the finish something like.

I found the same problem on Sat. About 6months old and 4 or 5 stone ships:( bought some candy white paint off ebay from a VW dealer, was about £8 delivered, still need to wash the car and then paint it on.
