Question
I used a product called Ferecla w good results,paint got clean and shines. The problem is chips that need touchd up. Carquest said they can match color, how do I fill, blend, and sand to match? Thanks
Toch up paint doesn't work good in the fashon you are thinking of. It will just get rubbed back out of the divot left by the chip. Just carefully touch up the chips, and remember, less is better. Pputting big globs will look like the devil. Do some inconspicuous spots to get a feel for the paint, then move on to the larger spots. Just fill the chip- don't go on to the finish. For small scratches, a paper match makes an excellent little brush. Bill
