Touch-Up for Small Scratches

Model: Mercedes Slk R170, MK 1 - Years 1997-2004
Part: Body

The presence of small scratches and minor scuffs on a vehicle's bodywork is quite normal: it is nearly impossible to avoid scratches caused by stones, contact with other cars while parking, or even potential vandalism. In any case, you can purchase a touch-up kit that includes two bottles: one with the original paint and the other with the clear coat (the brush is already included inside the cap).
Once the bodywork is carefully cleaned, proceed with the touch-ups using the paint, and after allowing it to dry, apply the clear coat in the same manner. For small scuffs, if the provided brush is too large, you can also use a toothpick.
