I have some scratches in my clear coat (have not reach the actual paint).
Just wondering how to take them out. Anyone tried these touch up pencils.
I have used some special polishing compound
(don't remember the name) that has helped a lot (borrowed from auto body
shop).
Also, used 2000 grit sand paper and then some 2001 turtle wax. Doing all
this was improved most of the spots by 80%. But I still have a few bad
spots
and I don't want to over do it with sand paper. So, I was just
wondering
if anyone has tried these pencils or any other fix it kits they sell at the
automotive store.
Do any of the really work? I imagine half the battle it skill and good
technique? Thanks

Generally if the scratch is minor and not to the paint it can be buffed out.

Those touch up pencils don't work. It will be back next time you go through
the car wash.

Find someone on your phone book that (fills in the chip or scratch) rather
than paint the whole panel.
There is a new market for skilled people with an airbrush. Locally we have
one place and most dealers have him airbrush fill in the chips and scratches
with matching paint and buff it out. You cannot tell it has been done on
all but the very worst marks.
