I am going to give a car a whole lineup of Maguires treatment this weekend. Overall paint is in pretty good shape, fair amount of spider webbing you would expect on a car that hasn't been waxed very often. I am going to do clay, ultimate compound, ultimate polish and then ultimate wax. I am just wondering when the correct time to touch up a few hood chips and a couple minor scratches on the side panel would be.
 
I like to touch up in the summer time. my car about 4yr old now so Im slowing down on the touch up paint.
 
I was wondering whether to touch up before I Clay after I Clay or at what point in the process
 
from a rookies point of view I would think just before final coat of sealant? to do beforehand you'd probably lift it back off?
 
... I find the best time to touch up is after you have bought her a drink!! ;)
 
Touch paint works well when there is adhesion or bonding to non polished surface.I would do it after wash and clay.
