I've tried it with limited success. I guess it take a bit of practice to perfect the technique.

Nissan Sport Magazine did a nice write up on them a while back.

"Looks great" means what. Your results are great. OK lets some some before and after photos.

Never had them work for me on any kind of car. They always show up.

A tree fell on my Z and while it was at the body shop I asked them to fix all of the chips on the hood and bumper, they told me they would just paint and clear over them and showed me what it would look like. It did not look great there was an obvious divot and I don't see chip kits doing better than a professional body shop. I opted for fill and re paint, and got her back on the 5th could not be more happy with the outcome!

When I said that I meant the product looked great.
Just used it today..I don't have pics yet...and no *before* pics were taken, but I'll post after pics and describe what the *before* looked like. It works like a charm...best stuff I've ever used. Color match was PERFECT...factory match. Well worth the $$.
