For small scratches and minor paint chips, you can perform touch-ups with a brush to eliminate marks and make the surface more uniform in appearance; it is clear that upon close inspection, the repair will be noticeable, but at first glance, the bodywork will appear perfect.

There are specific touch-up kits available, which include a bottle of the original body colour, a small brush, and a tube of wax for subsequent polishing.

Before performing the touch-ups, ensure the bodywork is perfectly clean, so start with a wash of the vehicle, then make sure the surface is completely dry, and at this point, begin touching up the scratches with the brush; after the paint is completely dry, polish the areas with the supplied wax.
