Hi folks
QQ57 Acenta owner here, it's getting on a bit now but I'm really attached to it.
I've had a scuff recently, my own fault, and because it's minor I'd like to patch it up myself. I'd call it a "graze" more than a "scratch". It's pretty light on the surface.
Anyway my 1st question is, does anything out there really work, and stay? I've used touch up paint before and it just comes off with the next wash. I'm thinking I need to buff it up properly. I'd be willing to buy equipment, as while I'm at it I can sort some other long-standing patches.
2nd question is where do you actually find the paint reference on the vehicle? I've looked in the places mentioned in the manual; inner door, sun visor etc but to no avail.
Thanks!
Dan
