Not sure if this is really the right place to post this, but any way I have a crazy amount of stone chips on the bonnet, the previous owner lived in a city so its chipped to hell, what i want to know andd need help with is what should i use or do to get rid of most the stone chips, i have polished the hell out of it twice, is there a product any one recomends.

Stone chip's cannot be polished out, only way to get rid of them is to take it to a bodyshop and have them respray the bonnet... or if your brave go to halfords and get a touch up pen (i wouldent do that if i was you).

Any decent bodyshop will spray it for 50-100 quid.

How about touching up as a short term fix and getting some tcut to it to try and blend the paint a bit then a decent polish and wax.

a decent spray shop will do it for you, but make sure they are good, i know a few peeps that have ended up with naff spray jobs, the paint ended up like orange peel on places of the bonnet:(

i once t cutted the whole of my escort, then had it all polished. took a full day but it looked sweet after it was done. it had been on the drive for a year and had started to go from red to pink as fords do when the get old lol

it came up amazing after some t cut, polish and elbow grease lol
