Minimizing touch-up paint visibility
After applying touchup paint, you *could* wet-sand the touchup paint and surrounding factory paint/CC, but that terrifies me (I dont mind cleaner/polish/wax work but I am absolutely not experienced enough to wet-sand).
Mothers used to sell a touchup paint "smoother" which removes *excess* touchup paint while not affecting factory paint. They discontinued it, but it is still available from Langka or their distributors such as AutoGeek . After I apply any touchup paint to my car, the next day I use the lotion (plus a white TShirt plus their plastic smoothing card) to remove excess touchup paint and just leave the fill-in paint (which is what you want). Works well for me, and avoids having to even think about wet-sanding.
