I went to a Chrysler dealer whose body shop I have used a number of times, showed him the spots and asked what the best way to remove the touch up paint. He proceeds to remove 90% of the touch up paint with his thumb nail. He then tells of of his guys to bring him a shop towel and some lacquer thinner. He wrapped the shop towel around the tip of his forefinger and wet just the very tip with the thinner. He then with very little pressure began rubbing just the area with the touch up paint and it came off very quickly and cleanly right down to the bare scratch.

A couple of tips that he shared, When scrapping with your thumb nail push forward, do not pull backward. the reason is that as you push your nail forward your nail has more give and will prevent you from scrapping off good paint.

The second tip pertains to the use of the lacquer thinner. Only use it if you are sure the paint on the vehicle is original factory paint. If the area has been repainted there is a better chance that the thinner will harm the finish. Use the smallest amount of thinner as possible and just enough pressure to remove the bad paint. One more thing, change to a clean part of your rag if it gums up with a lot of paint.

I came home and went to work, it worked great. I got all the sloppy nicks cleaned up and touched up with great results. To give you an idea of what a crappy job was done, there were three spots on the hood about the diameter of a pencil eraser. When I scrapped them with my finger nail the actual nick was the size of a ball point pen tip. I didn't even have to retouch them.
