Has anyone used the Chip and Scratch repair kit from Norton.

Seen a show on Dream Car Garage. They used this product on a C3 lower hood it was unreal couldn't even see any marks after they finished. I'm about to try it on the only chip I have but it happens to be right in the middle of the hood.

I purchased the bag of goodies from National Automotive Lines Shelbyville Indiana Phone (800) 488-4300  or (317) 392-1713

Part # AD- 37913 

The only Picture I have I got from Dream Car Garage Web Site then go to Past episodes and click on May 10th and 17th and you will see the kit. and like I said these guys said it works great. How nice a Corvette with no Stone Chips go figure

If you try it let us all know how it works. I was working on the car one day and had a drop light inside the car so I could see under the dash....and dumb ass me shut the door on the cord and took a small hunk of glass off the front part of the door. Its one thing when someone else does something to your car...but when YOU do it....##$#$$

Man, I would be interested too. I had my car in our cities car show when one of our local boys in blue opened the crusier door on my car. (DUH) He was very apollogetic but the damage was done.
The Shelbyville addres is very interesting to me since it is 18 miles from my little burg of af an Indiana town.

Here it is every thing is done by hand with what you see here and your own tuchup paint there's no spray.Once you put your paint in the chip(making sure it's higher then your paint on you car). You put different little pads of sand paper on the foam pads and use the two additives, this is done in stages. Then sit back and injoy sounds great. I gues I will have to be the Ginnypig . I'm going to e-mail these Guys to find out if anyone  other then Body Guys can do this with as little effort as they indicated.I'll let you know my findings.
