Repairing very small scratches/dings?

[NEexpat]

Echoing some of what mr_miles posted.

My experience fixing scratches and chips is that it is a real "process".

As far as small dents I can't help you.

I would direct you to the following link that I found invaluable when attempting this DIY.

What I have taken away from this,

1. Get your paint from the dealer, nowhere else. You can get a generic primer pen from an auto care place if needed, also a Rust neutralizer if required, such as Loctite Extend.
2. Buy a Turtle Wax Scratch Repair Kit about $12-$15 U.S. Has got everything you need, sanding pads, clear coat pen, buffing compound etc.
3. Toothpicks, toothpicks, toothpicks. More precise than paint pen brush, easier to control.
4. Patience, if you think you'll repair a chip or scratch in one go or in 30min forget it. There is prep time, curing, drying time, re-applying, sanding, clear coating, drying, sanding, buffing etc.
5. Lightly sand, and keep your sanding pad wet.

Good luck.
