not really sure - their website would have you believe it is a miracle compound, but then again it is the land of Uncle Sam & Big Mac!!

Thumbs up

Griff,

Long story but ordered some and left it in the garage for months before trying it on my wifes Alfa. In the UK you have to leave the touch up paint longer than 45min before using it or it lifts all the touch up paint off. Took a couple of layers to fill the chip and if it was not for the touch up paint being a perfect match you would never find the repair. Try some on a hidden chip and see what you think. It does not appaer to touch the original paint and smells like it contains some type of solvent that only appears to dissolve touch up paint.
