I am currently working on getting out the chips in my S500 Coupe. I went by an automotive paint store an got a brush that has a bunch of fiberglass strands in it to clean out the chips. I then built up the chip with touch-up paint. I then went to Pepboys and purchaced some 2000 wet/dry paper. I used some Meguires Quick Detail as a lubricant as I carefully sanded the touch-up paint down. Once I had it level, I then used the Meguires paint cleaner ( it was what I had in the garage) to buff out the dull spot that the sanding left. So far it works pretty good.

I am going to try to Zanio the car this weekend.

FWIW,
Steve
