Removing excess touch-up paint?

[Rob669]

I have gone over my car touching-up a few stone chips with a paint pen from Renault. I now need to blend it in, removing little areas of paint where too much has gone on. Is clay the best thing to use for this or polish?

Cheers,

Wet sanding and then a machine polish

I had to do that on my drivers door - dog jumped up at the window and ran its paw on the door leaving a 4" deep scrape

Got it touched in, left to dry then went over it gently with wet&dry 2000 paper.
The paintwork looked as if it faded to a light grey which makes you worry for a moment -
Meguiars Scratch-X, a good microfibre cloth and plenty of elbow grease soon sorted that out - I was well pleased
