touch up advice?

Hi all, has anyone any handy tips for touching up my motor? I have a few minor scratches and quite a few stone chips on the bonnet? does anyone rate those pens they sell on e bay- the ones that fill the clear coat and 'the scratches dissapear'?

My ZS is JFV code which I think is Trophy Blue?

Steve cleans is the man you want advice from or better still see if he is working near you, he even came to Scotland to work on a few members cars
Guy works wonders.

I bought one of those pens, scratch remover thing, clear crystals that are supposed to build up the scratch, but mine was down to the primer colour and did ****** all.

Bought some Magic restorer stuff to see if that works, doing it on Typhoon colour, they give you a coloured wax type stick as well as the polish.

That half worked, but maybe its just me!!!

There was a kit you could buy paint, lacquer etc to do a proper job, about £40/£50, though.
