Xpel paint protection is going on tomorrow, this is the size of a ballpoint at best, do you touch it up before the film goes on?

 

I wouldn't do it myself. I've never been happy with touch up. Looks cheap afterwards because I can see the mismatch. Often worse looking afterward. So I would rather just let it be. But a professional paint restorer I would consider. They seem to be able to make it so seamless you can't really tell.

 

Yes I would. It will be an eye sore under the clearbra. As long as you can touch it up and smooth it you will be better off since the clearbra will partially conceal the blemish.

 

if you do, will it be dry enough before applying the film tomorrow?

 

It should be with a little hair dryer treatment. I had more than 1K miles on my car before having the film installed and couple of tiny nicks. My XPEL installer hit a couple of spots just like that with the Jaguar touch-up kit just before he started the installation. It's probably the best OEM kit I've seen with a razor thin brush for hitting the smallest spots.

I can't even find the places he touched up with it.
