Remove small scratches and dings

I have a few scratches and dings on my Tl. I have touch up paint but many people say that doesnt work good to remove scratches because it doent blend in good with the original paint. I have seen some pens that remove scratches. Do these work or what works best in removing small scratches? Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

it depends on how bad the scratch is.

if scratch is in clear coat; a detailer using polish and a random Orbital can make it less visible.

if scratch is down to paint and you can see bare metal...repaint

I've found that the Acura touch up pen works really well, it has a paint pen on one side and a foam clearcoat applicator on the other end.

As far as whether the paint matches well or not that would depend on a few factors. How old is your TL? What color is your TL? Does your TL spend most of it's time parked outside or inside? Do you live in a hot climate?
