Hi Stu,

Turtle Wax markets a product called Color Cure which is a colored wax, 
available in various shades.  It is accompanied by a "ChipStik" - a 
lipstick-like tube of solid wax for deep chips and scratches.  It helps 
with my black TD but it's not a perfect solution.  Probably changes a 
ten-footer into a three-footer.

Looks like we'll be down your way next November when son Rob will be 
competing in a Triathlon, attempting to qualify for the 2005 Hawaii Ironman.

Give Scooby a pat for us. 

Ted
