Langka Sucks!!!

I know some of you had good experiences with Langka, but I definately did not. I followed the instructions, and it came out even worse then before. I let the paint dry for 2hours, when I used a tshirt over the card they give you, the paint becomes dull, and the little fine hairs from the tshirt get stuck in there. It looks like crap. Am I doing something wrong?

I used it on a couple of rock chips on the hood. The Langka did exactly what it was supposed to do, level out the paint. I used a well worn kids t shirt and got no hairs in the paint.
The Acura touch up paint is another story. The red did not cover well, and it also did not match that closely.

What did you apply the paint with? I hope not the applicator brush. Was it humid when you applied? When I received my bottle it warned that the instructions were updated and that a visit to their site would get you the correct directions. Mainly the difference was in the drying time. If you let it stay on two hours and it still didn't dry enough then perhaps you put to much on or it was very humid. I would use anything with any nap or obvious hair in it. My experience worked fine. Seems to work better on a white.(?)

Good luck

First of all make sure you are using a tooth pick and using ONLY ACURA TOUCH UP PAINT!!
and let it dry for atleast 5 hours. I let mind sit for 3 and it was 70's and windy and still wasn't complete. after u let it sit poke it w/ a tooth pick and see if its dry. If it is then get some langka and start rubbing. I got Almost perfect results and VERY VERY VERY Satisfied w/ them. Atleas on the white that is.

I just talked to Langka. They told me that Honda/Acura paint isnt the best to use with Lnagka. They told me I should buy a clear paint that pep boys carries, and mix it 1:1 with the black. The reason I have to do this is because Honda/Acura black is too flashy or something like that. I will let the paint dry for 2 days, and redo it again. The fact that the hairs were getting stuck on the paint probably means the paint was not fully dried. I guess I can be impatient sometimes. =)

Spiroh, please let me know how it works out for you - I've got a black CLS too, and am having the same problems with the Langka. I let my paint dry for a WEEK! Basically, if I rub too long it removes ALL the paint, if I don't rub long enough, it just makes the touch up paint look cloudy.
Thanks
