    I have a number of chips on second car, like little stones marks....about 10 little white marks ....just wondering what is best to fix?



    Have seen the T-cut stuff but is that any good?


    Thanks

    I have done the following and it works well.

    Get the right colour touch up paint. (code usually on a sticker in spare wheel well, or owners book)

    Clean areas for touch up properly.
    Apply touch up paint as carefully as possible with a fine art paint brush.
    I left mine for a few days.
    You will be left with high points of new paint and to get these level, use min 2000 grit wet and dry sandpaper with water.

    Only use the w & d in up/down and side to side motion like an +. Do not do a circular motion.

    I made my own sanding tools with tiny pieces of w & d glued to small pieces of wood. This was to minimise the area I was sanding and concentrate on the new paint high spots.

    Use a fine polishing compound with water in a circular motion.

    I used Formula 1 polishing compound.https://www.vinnybyrne.com/formula-1-complete-polish-compound.html

    Came out great.
