I can't speak to Dr. Colorchip's Sealact blending solution, but I've used Langka's Blob Remover which is likely going to have similar outcomes. In my experience the touched up paint seems to lose a bit of its gloss and luster after using the Blob Remover, and you sometimes have residual smears that look like scratches on the surrounding paint. None of this is an issue as I have found using a mild polish (with mild abrasives) and a detailing microfiber is sufficient to remove the excess of the surrounding paint and bring back the shine to the touched up area. Applying clear coat on top of the touch up paint (after allowing it to dry) usually gives the best color match finish. I have one chip that was down the the primer on my G42 and the color match is spot on, pretty much perfect. You can only tell because I didn't fill it up enough, but I don't care because I'm sure there will be a hundred more after next winter.

If you're planning on coating (ceramic, sealant, wax), you should clean whole car with an isopropyl alcohol wipe, but particularly in areas you polished to remove polishing residue. This residue causes issues with the bonding that happens with ceramic in particular.
