Litrally just totally botched a small touch up job. Looking to get a blob off without too much collateral damage.
I have read lacquer thinner is the way to go--is that the consensus out there? Do I just rub it on with a terry cloth or something?

Now I see not to use the Dupli color brush...should have checked first.
Thanks!
 
Really depends on how bad. A good detailer MIGHT be able to blend with various sand papers, then polish it out.

Unless something has changed recently, lacquer thinner will wipe touch up right off. It will not affect modern factory applied paint other than removing the wax.
