Langka worked for me on very recent touch-ups, but it requires you to follow the instruction exactly, and it can pop out touch-ups. if you're doing one or two it's not a bad idea at all. If you're doing 3+, I wouldn't bother.

I might have to try that stuff out. I just recently scratched the underside of the car on my driveway so maybe this stuff will work.

Just in case you guys don't know (I think you do, but you never know), Langka is to remove the blobs after you touchup the chip/scratch. You still need to touch it up yourself.

I mean if you're only doing a couple touchups Langka is probably worth the cash. You're only doing two, so it's not a bad idea. The scratches you have - before you touch them up are you sure they're through the clearcoat? Obviously if you can see metal you know they are.

If they're not (you can tell by running your finger lightly over the scratch, if your fingernail catches on it, its probably through the clear), you can have them polished out. If they are and you need to do a touchup there is a really, really good "how-to" here:

http://autopia-carcare.com/inf-paint-polish-clinic.html (scroll down to "chip and scratch repair). If you're going to use Langka you won't need to wetsand. After the touchup is done and you have your little paint blob follow the the Langka instruction to the letter, and you should be good to go.

Yep - if you can see primer you need to touch it up. Check that link I mentioned, there is some solid info there.
