I purchased Langka's chip repair kit about a year ago when my bumper started getting chipped to hell. I never ended up using it since I decided to get the bumper repainted.

When detailing my G the other day, I saw my first chip on the middle of the hood. I pulled the "Langka" out and gave it a try. At first it wasn't working very well.

(The whole theory behind it is to "remove" excess paint blobs from the touch-up paint with a sort of rubbing compound).

I noticed the instructions indicated to let touch-up paint cure for between 1.5 hours to 3 days. I thought 3 days was riduculous and attempted to removed the excess touch-up paint after a few hours.

The product failed to perform, and the touch-up paint simply rubbed off.

I decided to try a much longer cure time for the touch up paint (I waited a full 24 hours the 2nd time around). I have to say the Langka product worked beyond my expectations. I can't even figure out where the chip is anymore.

The chip was fairly small, so I 'm not sure how it performs on larger chips. Also, I'm sure the metallic in my car (emerald mist) makes for an easier match when doing touch-ups.

I completely recommend this product to anyone who is as **** about the upkeep of their G as I am.

The website is www.langka.com, for anyone who is interested in more information about what I think is a great product.

 

Thanks for the feedback.

 

I used it on my black G as well and had exactly the same results. Some of my first chip repairs were visible but, with a little experience, I perfected the process. I recommend it.

I agree Langka is a good easy to use product. Can't really mess-up; worst that you can do is remove too much touch-up paint -- then you just try again. On some really fine scratches, I waited one week before applying Langka.

Also, FYI, Mother's Paint Chip Repair Kit is same as Langka. Mother's has a distribution agreement with Langka to sell under Mother's name at retail level.

 

ooo..i heard about them..I'm not sure if this is the same one..but they had a 13 yr old girl doing a demo..

 

that's the demo on a Luxus right.

Yeah, the stuff works great, only problem with some metallics it removes the paint but leaves behind the metal flake so it comes out looking too shiny but on plain colors it works well.

 

My car is metallic and I had no problem. I did have to try a couple times to get it right though.

 

What about light scratches? I have a swirly light scratches I caused by my nails. Thanks.

 

If they aren't "through" the clear coat, there are other options. Langka is for chips and scratches that are through to the metal/beyond the clear coat.

 

got a couple through the clear coat (posted pics in Coupe Forum). Where do I get some touch up paint with a good match for BS, or does the Langka come with a match. Sorry for the simple questions but I am in a little of a hurry.
