Well, I used it today and it worked great. Not perfect on the bumper, but I had a few chips here and there and they look pretty good. I'll go out and check it in the morning to see if it still looks good. I ended up looking alot like a smurf by the time I was done, though.

only thing id say they could improve is to put a spout on the top instead of it just being an open bottle, i fear i will spill it one of these days

My front bumper looks the same way, but it's a black car. So the white colored chips in the clear coat are even more noticable. Is the turtle wax stuff your using one of those colored polishes? Does it come in black?

Well, it's been over a week and the car still looks great, even after a rainstorm (was thinking I might have a blue puddle under the car afterwards). This actually sucks for me, because the car looked so good after the polish that I finally got around to ordering the touch-up paint and clearcoat for the chips, but now I can't see where they are, so I'm waiting for the car to look like crap again so I can fix it for real...

I use the Turtle Wax Color Cure stuff all the time. It does wear off eventaully but it works GREAT

I do not use the little lipstick tube of wax though, found it to be kinda useless...
