Touch up paint for your car?

Can anyone tell me the best way to use touch up paint on your car for small scratches and get the best resultsTouch up paint for your car?
The 3m sticks are good, but not great for this reason; after a few years in the sun your paint fades and then you add the new ';factory color'; paint and it'll be darker. for small scratches, especially all over a vehicle, you can use scratch x, or other scratch removers, a buffer to buff it on and then a new pad to buff it off, and then use something like ';Ice'; wax by turtle wax. It fills in pretty good and leaves a good shine.Touch up paint for your car?
you can use these things called ez dabbers made by 3m. They are a stick with a tiny microfiber like tip. Touch up the area, wet sand the touch up with 1500 or higher wetsanding paper. Be careful don't wet sand too much and then buff and wax the area out. Good Luck. You may also want to have a detail shop do that for you.
OK, you might not like my answer but here it goes... Don't do it yourself because you don't always get the results you want. rather take it to a professional place and pay the little bit to do it properly
buff out the scratches and paint over it with primer and paint
