I have a week off work I was hoping for better weather to try out my ChipEx kit and do some more machine polishing
Instead, I took the wheels off and cleaned up the inside of the rims and gave the calipers a good scrub. They'll need a repaint at some point as they're not in the best shape and have gone abit pink.
Found one of my CV boots leaking 
and a screw in a tyre
Let us know what the Chipex kit is like. Been meaning to get one for mine, although I think I'd need a week off work to fill all my chips in 
Bummer on the CV boot. Did both of mine last weekend, very straight forward job, although I would recommend the purchase of some very manly CV clip pliers. Tons on Amazon.
In regard to the chipex kit I can save you the £30-£40 for it, here's the 2 versions of a home kit;
1.
Paint touch up pen from Volkswagen (£8)
Masking Tape
1200 grit sand paper
3000 grit disc
(optional) 6000 grit disc
Meguiars ultimate compound and your preferred polish regime (Doesn't have to be meguiars etc just a good strong cutting compound 6000 grit disc reduces the need for a heavy cut compound)
2.
Volkswagen paint touch up pen (£8)
Paint fine line pen £14 and link -
http://www.carolescraftsuk.co.uk/product-p/490926.htmthis way there's no sanding so may suit more people it takes longer though as you're doing tiny dots into the stone chip so to avoid "overfilling" it with paint so you don't need to level it.
Video for the 2nd method too!
Hope this helps someone
