Rep Power: 0 I used to detail cars for awhile, and I found if you work in some compound wax in circular motions, light-medium scratches will come out. If the scratch is just through the clearcoat, it will come out, but if it's into the paint, you can forget it.

Rep Power: 0 I used audiovisuals.com as well, it's like $21 shipped. I need Fiji Pearl Blue and the Honda Dealership didn't even have it. Took about a week and a half to get it from audiovisuals but the color matched perfect and the felt tip pen is easy to use, can't even tell I had a rock chip on the hood....

Rep Power: 0 this better work...
i managed to get my local honda dealer to get me the Touch-up paint pen for $11.35 CAD. Its the exact color for my car. I tried that Turtle Wax crap that comes with the chipstick (looks like lipstick) man does it suck!
