Best product for paint chips/touch in etc

[goddardo]

I'm about to buy a Ford Focus from a friend & there are two or three very minor scuffs/chips. Supermarket trolley type of stuff.
I've heard of various products for this type of repair. What works for you?

you would be better off looking for a local chips away or similar franchise that come to you and do the repairs, see if you can find one thats reccommended by others who have used. More often than not diy efforts make the marks look worse.
A good repair by someone who knows what they are doing will be almost invisible to the untrained eye

Thanks for the tip.
I did some research on Chips Away & got some very mixed reports from great to useless.

I would try a coloured cutting polish first. I also don't think much of chips.

that would be because it's a franchise style business and the individual can be good or bad like anything else.

this is probably your best bet if the paint isn't scratched too deeply.

its better to get a reccommendation from someone whos used them to be honest and is happy with the work, there are other paint correction firms around that come to you.

Ask a local main dealer who they use.......
Certainly was a good find for me.
