By rule of thumb if you can catch it with your fingernail, you might need to lightly wet sand it and then buff it out.

very tru on the rule of thumb. wetsand as a last resort, and by all means, do not use touch-up paint. it will look like a nasty scar on the paint. even after wetsanding the touch-up paint, it wil still be really noticable.

im a detailer by profession. use the pc, or high speed wheel, not an orbital. 1st use a medium compound, then a polish, followed up by a good wax.

the lipstick idea is only good for chicks, not cars. it will wash away in about 8 car washes. and you will be back to square 1.
