Anyone try the Langka paint touchup system??

I have a few stone chips on the nose of my GTS and am wondering if this stuff works. I use the blue Turtle wax now but would like a better fix than that..Thanks...Al...

I have and another member here has also tried this and it worked like crapka. This was discussed on another thread and I don't think anyone came up using Langka and had an excellent result. The end result was it looked like I had used touch up paint (this was on a BMW M6). Not recommended by me.

It didn't work well for me either. After rubbing the surface of the touched up are with the Langka it takes the level of the touchup paint down to match the paint on the car- but the area that was touched up was never smooth. Mine always had a pitted appearance that got worse with time.

Langka does not work very well.

I just used Langka on a scratch I put into the rear fender. It isn't perfect, but it is still much better than using just touch-up paint to try to fix a scratch or a nick. The key is patience. You can still the scratch on my car if you are looking for it, but it is not nearly as noticeable as it was at first, or as it would be had I used touch-up paint alone.

I guess I am the positive vote. I have had some good results with Langka...especially after getting the hang of how you should use it.

One thing I found helpful is to make sure that the touch-up has dried well...30 minutes won't do. Days are better.

I also found that by tightly wrapping a thin cloth..like t-shirt material..around teh card makes a big difference. You almost want to shave off the paint. A soft towel allows to much give and it goes into the touched-up area.

Finally, the amount of Langka makes a difference. Using enough to work..but not so much that it drips into the touch-up is key.

I have also touched-up and used 2000 or 3000 sandpaper. The problem with using abrasives on a Viper is that the paint is very soft.
