Touch Up Paint Trick

Most of us at one point or another have battled for control of the brush when applying touch up paint. I know my former cars always had a little to much on whenever I applied so I tried something else this time. I used a toothpick instead of the brush. It takes longer but I feel like I have so much more control. Anyway, I thought I would share...

You got a scratch on your W211?

I've had to re-paint the left rear bupmer & rub strip 4 times in a year. (The body guys know I don't want any paint build-up). I don't know what it is with this car... could it be people just want to get closer for a better look?

Since we're sort of on the dreaded door ding topic, I just wanted to make sure everyone knows that it's really simple for your dealer to remove door dings so you never knew they were there. For $90, I have a born-again ding-free new car!!!
