The paint looks fine, but I have what appears to be a small hole in the clear coat. Will these products also fix that problem? I don't want to make the problem worse. Thanks.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #106776 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4408 Re:Paint Scratches??? 4 Months ago   you would want to fill the chip with clearcoat to build it back up level, then use these products to buff and fair it back..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #106781 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 10822 Re:Paint Scratches??? 4 Months ago   For chips ..... You can use a toothpick to fill the chip with clearcoat .. dip the toothpick in the clearcoat and place a drop onto the chipped area until you have filled it slighty higher than the surrounding paint. Usually the above products are not agressive enough to remove the excess so you need a different tack. I usually use a small block with 1800 or 2400 wet and dry to remove the excess and then use the above compounds to buff it up.
