how to FIX scratch with CLEAR COAT Professional Way

[merv.cheo]

Dear PROS....
i recently bought a honda 2nd hand car. After purchasing it, during first wash, realize there are many chips and a scratch. So here are some question i need to query to fix my paint chips and scratch.
For the Scratch-
i believe i can find out through the amazing megs online how to fix a scratch and chips. But can i add another method to do this? Is this extra method good?
so here goes....

1. clean and prep area to work
2. Do i need to prime the scratch/ chips? Use alcohol to clean work area.
3. use touch up paint to fill up the scratch / chips. Do for 3 layers.
4. Use (i know i shouldnt talk about other brands here, but im sorry if i have to) Simoniz Fix it Pro to add a layer of CLEAR COAT....(this product has been reviewed as a failure, but i think it might actually work if done this way-But what u guys think?)
5. Now, after the clear coat added, there will be an uneven layer...Clean and prep work area, as scratch/chips being filled with Simoniz Fix it pro and left for 1 day to dry, may have cause it to be contaminated.
6. Prep 2000 grit, 2500 grit and 3000/3500 grit wet sand paper.
7. Wet sand the uneven area down to level.
8. clean area, and then using Megs Ultimate Compound to remove scratch for wet sanding.
9. Polish area with Megs NXT Tech Wax
10. Lastly, use megs M21 2.0 sealant to seal the area...

This, using the simoniz fix it pro, is the extra step i realize may work to minimize taking the clear coat layer away. What do you guys think? Will it work?
Need your expert opinion

Did a search for "Fix It Pro". Nobody seems to like it. Why mess with it? Check this out

The suggestions here work really well.

Depending on your application, I am not sure if UC will have enough cut to remove the sanding marks? It might, but might require a number of applications.

We would recommend M105 instead of UC.

Cool...Thanks for the feedback. I will still try it out on a spot just so i can review it here. I believe everyone will like to know the best possible way to fix a chip. For the scratch i will just do the simple old way. cause it checks out that my finger nails didn't get caught in it.
Cheers people. Will post how the Fix it pro method goes when i get the time to do it.
Really appreciate your advice.
