It doesnt come out brand new you can see little blotches but better then a rust spot and from a little distance u cant see it Use a tiny paint brush for better results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personaly dont no anyone who has used them so I cant comment on their work. as for the scratches id go to a prof detailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For big scratches or marks 'touchup guys' work best on plastic panels. Metal they will do but recommend panel beaters instead as they need larger blend ins and as their mobile equipment is smaller and can't handle it. If you do it yourself a tip for applying touchup paint is clean the chip well, no rust, then use a fine piece of wire to dip into the paint and slowly fill the hole til level.
