my newly aquired c70 [ met garnet red ] had a few minor scratches and a couple of small areas where someone had tried to repair it with a touch up paint kit, you know the one with the small brush in it,i used the wifes nail varnish remover to get back to the original scratch and using a fine artists brush [not loaded] stroked the paint into the scratch, same with the laquer, done carefully you cant tell! use wet@dry and rubbing compound if needed. never use the supplied brush as nylon does not hold paint,quick and cheap. just thought i would post this in case someone out there didnt know this. cheers philsan.
