It depends on exactly what you're trying to do.

If you (or previous owner) "fixed" some chips or scratches with touch-up paint and left a mound of paint there, then your best bet is to finish the job. You need to sand it down and polish it.

Check out this website:
http://www.bettercarcare.com/paint-p...ng-clinic.html

About half way down the page is a section titled "Chip and Scratch Repair". It explains the steps you have to go through to apply touch-up then sand and polish it back to looking like new.

That site is based on and run by the same guy that does Autopia. Check out http://autopia.org - it's the ultimate source on detailing and car care.
