• I tried to wet sand/polish out a scratch and removed a small area of clear coat (maybe half the size of a 5p coin) on a carbon frame.

    I have some clearcoat touch up (similar brush size to nail polish) - is it worth attempting to reapply clear coat or just leave it? Paint is in tact and it's not in an obvious place - the chainstay. I might actually cover the area with helitape instead as I'm pretty sure the damage was from chain suck.

  • Leave it.
    Don't leave it.
    It doesn't really matter in terms of protecting the substrate.
    If it were steel, you'd want to cover it to prevent rust but with carbon, that's not an issue.
