Touch up Paint

I bought some touch up paint to tidy up a few chips on the front of my car - received the paint in one tube and clear coat in another tube. Now even though i'm not a rocket scientist i can work out that the colour goes on first and the clearcoat goes on afterwards, but do i need to prep the area before i do any "touching up" (Fnaar fnaaar)?

Do i need to clear any wax/polish away before i paint? and if so - with what?

Any budding Tony Hart's out there, please give me the benfit of your wisdom/experience.

Wow no awnser, however I have the same problem and was going to pose the same question.

So I am also interested in awnser.

Also my cars plastic/rubber has got spotty marks from water drying in strong sunlight on it, how do I get rid of that.

Daz, me old mate - i can answer your plastic/rubber spotting question.

i bought some Autoglym rubber/plastic cleaner from halfords when i was back for Easter - tried it out last weekend and it works a treat - it removed all traces of greyness and even removed wax/polish stains. so im quite confident that it will remove your water spotting problem. it also smells rather nice - it left my garage smelling of a lemon tree !

you can even have a matt finsh or a gloss finish - just depends on how you apply/remove it.

Of course im sure Phil does some Zymol stuff that works better/lasts longer/smells nicer ...... :wink:

If you've got polish on the plastic trim, and it goes all white, you can apparently remove it by applying peanut butter (smooth not crunchy!) and then wiping off. Might work for your spotty water marks as well. If it doesn't work, at least your car will taste nice, assuming you like peanut butter :D
