Hi, I've got a 2004 Honda Civic LX Magnesium and it's a great car and I'd really like to do a better job taking care of the exterior. There are some scratches and stone chips that I'd like to touch up but don't want to do a botch job and have it look really crummy. Advice about touching up chips and waxing would be super thanks!

Hey, I was using the Black Magic Detailer spray to shine up my dash and managed to get a bit on the clear plastic part of the clock and now it's slightly fogged up a bit. I know it says not to get on clear plastic but it was a friggin ACCIDENT. Am I screwed now?? It's not all that bad but it's pissing me off. I always mess things up like this.
