I hear its easier to use than BMW's own paint. But I also hear the good results aren't as good as BMW paint. Right now, I've sort of filled in the chips with BMW paint. (Perhaps there's some more bits to fill). So basically I'm at finishing off stage. I've also bumped into a prof detailer who...

PS Sorry this is probably a silly question here. You would recommend I flatten the touchup to be fairly smooth with the surrounding area first? ie with 1500 grit, or a sanding pen? My chip repairs are currently "mostly flat", but one or two are a little raised right now, compared to the...

Brilliant thanks. 1) Would it be ok to sand down using the abrasive pen on the "gentle setting" ie having the fibres long in the pen? Would 3000 grit get out the marks it leaves? I'd decided to redo the paint touchups first time around, and sanding down with 1500 on an eraser tipped pencil...
