Any paint prep product should suffice, doesn't have to be Dr. Colorchip's.

Also, if it's a deeper scratch/chip I've had better luck layering versus trying to do it in one step. So fill it 2/3 give or take, let it completely cure (at least overnight), then apply the 2nd layer, cure, blend, protect.
And just one last question if I may haha, should I like try to scratch off the current dried touch up? I've never actually applied the clear coat part of it just the base color. Before "fixing" it (blending or reapply)

And using the blender, I suppose you use it after you have applied the clear coat right?

Thanks for much, I'm pretty noobish in terms of touch up paint.
