Dr colorchip is not a perfect paint repair method. It is simply a way to fill in chips, especially if you have many of them as you likely will with Subaru hoods and bumpers, in a quick easy way. You glob the paint on all the chips at once, smear the globs so they don't stand up above the paint, wait a few minutes then wash off all the excess. Usually if you look closely the chipped areas will have thinner paint than surrounding areas but no globs or beads. The chipped area paint will sit lower rather than higher than the surrounding area.

Not aware of a clear coat though it might be harder to get the wipe.away stuff to stay on the chipped area as the paint is designed to not wipe off the exposed metal of the chipped spots.

You replace the colour to the chipped spots but can't really level it out.

Hope that explains things better.
