Getting the Suburban ready to sell. My 5 yr old loved it so much he scratched the side with a rock. (he loves rocks!) Anyway, I have a few chips (typical) but these scratches (none are deep and very narrow) bug me and I'd love to repair them before selling. What have you used, besides the typical pens or spray cans, to deal with touch up? These scratches are so narrow, even the old match trick will put on too much paint. But, are wide enough, that they won't polish out.

Was thinking Dr. Colorchip. I've heard mixed reviews so I thought I'd leave things open to see responses. FWIW, the scratch is much less damaging than, say, a typical keying. Just bad enough to not polish out.

I've had good success with Drcolorchip but also hear good things about Langka products.

I've used Langka & Dr. Colorchip.  Langka for me does a better job of leveling the blob.

Also, scratch is more difficult to cover than a chip in my experience

Would they work about as well on scratches, or is one superior?

Bavarian Autosport has a Youtube video showing both Dr Colorchip and Langka being used. I found it very helpful in demonstrating the types of damage each is best suited to repairing.
