@SON1C, I think the chips have been there for a couple of months. After rinsing off the iron-x, the light orange color in the chip was gone. There was a huge amount of purple bleeding from those spots. Of course, the rust has come back at this point. @Twister, after using the fiberglass pen...

Thanks for the tip. Do you think the touchup paint kits are necessary/sufficient to stop the rust? How long were you able to hang on to your Dr. Colorchip kit (in the very likely event that I'll get more chips in the future)?

Hi all, I have a couple of small chips in my paint on a daily driver. A few of the chips are rusting, although I believe it is just surface rust (came off with Iron-X). How should I deal with these? My priority is making sure that the rust doesn't set in and start spreading. I'm not looking...

Bobby G, thanks for the detailed answer. I was trying to avoid doing any major correction for this first pass because I am still considering handing over the correction work to a pro. Can the Sonus polish be applied by hand? One advantage of the Klasse system for me was that it sounded like...

I have been lurking here for a few days learning about how to properly wash and care for my car. The car is a few years old and I've mostly neglected washing and waxing, etc. I'm trying to change that now, and I know how to do a proper two-bucket wash. I am also planning to aggressively clean...
