If you have loads of layers of wax on the bonnet do you recon it would be harder to chip?
Don't drive so close to the car in front, sorted.

The touch up pens are sh!t imo . I find the paint is a bit too thick . Your better off getting an aerosol mixed up , spray a bit in the lid and use a c0cktail stick like in the guide below .Plus the touch up pens cost about 7 quid for 20ml , an aerosol will cost about a fiver for a 400ml can so you plenty left .

Just be thankful you didn't get a civic type-rIs the Clio very prone to stone chips on the bonnet?? Since they've been gritting the roads, I've noticed about 3 or 4 big stone chips on the bonnet. I know you can't avoid it, just pissed off- seems the paints quite soft??
Could be a trip to chipsaway for me soon.
Spot on mate.
Not read the guide so dunno if it says what i'm about to put but i'll type it anyway...
If when touching in the chips you are left with blobs of paint that aren't flush with the panel get a blade...lay it flat on the panel and slice of the paint so its flush. BE CAREFUL though not to stratch the panel. Then polish it up and you'll barely notice where the chip was.
Paint must be dry though before you do it
