Works well but it is labor intensive depending on how many chips and how deep they are. If you spend the time, you can get a much beter result than the standard touch up paint.

I've used it twice, on my P-car and my daughter's car. The paint was a perfect match in both cases, but I never got the hang of the 'smear it with the thumb' routine, just made a mess. Results were fairly good just using a brush, though.

I've not used it personally. But has been mentioned repeatedly on Porsche Pete's Boxster Board. Lots of people seem to like it. But as mentioned, can be labor intensive if lots of chips are involved. I just started accepting chips as a natural consequence of tracking a car.

I guess I am curious how this compares, in results and time, to touch-up and mini-block sanding/buffing. I want to take care of a few spots on the 44 before I sell it and on the 996 (damn soft paint). As for the 911 track wannabee, the more patina the better

Not sure its worth spending the (any?) money on the '44 if you are selling it.

Maybe I'm bad at the selling game, but having all that $$ tied up in the mechanical end, I guess I'm thinking I can justify keeping my losses down (ie, price up) by getting the cosmetics as good as possible w/o spending too much. Although, my wife wants it GONE. Heck, I'd be pretty happy recouping the $$ spent this last round (minus the rool bar and track wheels/tires).

We'll see.
