I cleaned my car and polished it with AG Bodywork Shampers Conditioner and Super RP (as per usual when I get around to my annual clean :( )

The problem is that it really brings out the stone chips and scratches (which I fear that I have made worse with a sponge despite using two for upper and lower body - I only just read about sheepskin things on here).

I can't afford a re-spray right now and want to maintain and possibly improve on what I have. Is there a touch up tool that I can buy and fill in the stonechips on the bonnet? It honestly looks after 20 years like it has really bad dandruff!

Nice, okay. Aren't there many different shades of diamond schwarz? How can I tell which is mine and how much should I be ordering from them?

a pen will do all the chips. Dab them in proud, dry, flat, buff.
