Question
I have a black towncar and was wondering if there is a black product that can be used to blend in small scraches and dings. I once saw a "miracle" product on tv but can't recall what it is. Please advise. Thank you so much.If there is no such product, please advise the best way to solve these problems. Thanks again

Answer
Hi Stephan,

To my knowledge there is no such product on the market that actually works. The best way would be to go to your local paint dealer and buy the color in an enamel version and use it to touch up the scratch or chip with. Then use some 2000 grit wet or dry sand paper after the paint has cured for a few days. They lightly sand the touch-up area until it blends with the surrounding area. Once this step is complete you will then need to polish with a light duty rubbing compound.
