Will the touch up procedures add density and cause a helmet look?

patrick30
My question is in regards to the "touch up" expected for smp around 4-7 years in. Are the technicians skilled enough to place the touch up dots directly on top of the original ones? Or should I expect them to miss several and cause an increase in density? I am worried that over time, after several touch ups, it will have that helmet look which is very unnatural. Also, how would a touch up fix blurring?
