Langka sucks

Well, I tried Langka and was unsuccessful. I tried more than once. First, I let the touch up dry for 2 hours (90 degree day in the shade)...didn't work..it just took off the touchup. So I cleaned with alcohol again, touched up...and waited 24 hours!!!...the touch up looks dull and still came off. Am I doing something wrong? Am I using too much langka? I now a lot of instructions say put the touchup in layers...I don't see how that's possible even with a toothpick.

Re: Langka sucks

Did you use that credit card/plastic looking thing wrappend in a shirt to remove it? It takes some practice to get it right. It took me 3 times, but I have the hang of it now. The trick is to remove the touch up VERY SLOWLY. It you rub a little too much...POOF the touch-up paint is gone.

Re: Langka sucks

Yes, I used the card that my langka kit came with....and used the same method as the video on Langka's website. What about the fact that the touch up paint come out dull after using langka? Is that because I"m doing it too much and too fast? or is that just the way langka is?

Re: Langka sucks

try putting on some clearcoat touch up paint after you are done and then do the Lanka on that. worked pretty well for me and bought back some of the shine.
