Scratch question for those in the know.

What is the product that can help to fill in and smooth out a scratch or chip when mixed with touch-up paint? Begins with a G I think...anyone know, and does it work? Thanks for the help.

Are you talking about GS27 scratch remover? If so don't waste your money. It's crap. And it doesn't get mixed with the paint. It's used to smooth out the blob effect from using touchup paint.

Same with Langka, it sucks too. Best bet is some 1000 grit sandpaper glued to the end of a pencil eraser. Makes a nice sanding block to get off the high spots on a chip repair.

I have a little scratch I need to repair too. I went out and bought a really thin paintbrush since the one that comes with the touch-up paint just globs the paint on and I bought some Langka too. The first time I tried to fix it with the regular brush and Langka, the Langka took all of the paint out of the scratch!! I'm going to try it again with the thin brush and see how that works. The GS27 stuff is crap and actually seems to dull the paint where you rub it. Someone gave my dad some and we tried it on several cars in hidden areas so if it damaged the paint you couldn't see it.... well, I've never seen that stuff work... ever. Just get some touch-up paint and try what NSXNEXT said.....
