Paint Chip repair system

I have some pretty bad paint chips. Recently saw an advertisement for Dr. Colorchip repair system. Have any of you tried this?
Crazy? Great?

Have not tried this but considered getting it until I decided to do a paint/sand job myself.

From reading many reviews, it seems to works very well for multiple shallow rock chips. This will not work as well for deeper chips. If you want to repair deeper chips, try Langka.

I know this doesn't help much since I don't have any personal experience, but I have yet to read a negative review on Dr. Colorchip for shallow repairs.

Don't expect it to look flawless. You can still see it. Wasted my money.

I've used it before and if done right it will fill the chips and leave a slight bubble to which you can use a rubbing compound on later to make flush with the paint. smaller chips can disappear completely while larger ones you may still see but only when you look for them on the paint.

Their system works just as good if not better than the OEM version.

Dr. Colorchip and Langka are a waste of money. I haven't found any simple solution.
