Default Will this work?

I have a dd and the paint is in good condition, but it has scratches and scuffs from the previous owner. The question is can I fill in the scratches with touch up paint, wet sand, buff then polish and wax it? Will it look good? I would like to detail it to make it shine nice so I need to fix these other wise why bother!

What I am trying to say is...... If I fill the scraches and let the paint bleed a little to make sure it is filled will wet sanding make it even with the rest of the paint job?
Thanks guys. TJ

NO... Will it look better if done right probably but it will not look perfect at all... I would start with just trying to wet sand and buff what you can then decide if you want to touch it up or not... No reason to touch it up and risk it looking worse if it will come out with a good wetsand and buff...
