The car looks great. The touch up is incredible before to after. Thanks for the tips on Langka.

Rsurfer..thank you very much...I was happy with the trim (I had used the DP tire gel on my own trim and really liked the result).

killrflake..thanks a bunch..I am impressed with what the DG 501 did to the red! It also did a nice job on the wheels.

BTW, received no reply back from 303. (looks like the cleaner was just renamed).

Thanks Bruce..I screwed up there..no close ups. You gotta get within a few inchs to see any evidence of the work. BTW, I'm surprised at 303 not getting back to you..that's disappointing. As long as they're not discontinuing the cleaner, that's what really counts I guess.

Thank you Jimmie. I'm diggin the langka..it just needs time for the touch up to dry completely..a time better measured in days than hours. It can be too aggressive in how much paint it removes otherwise.

do you have any up close before/after pics of the chips?

Danny..I don't have any of the chips before they were touched up. The following pic (you really have to look hard) you can see the touch up areas. It didn't photograph well unfortunately. The shot of the hood with the wet sanding clearly shows all the wet sand marks. The spots that got Langka you obviously (hopefully!!) can't see but you can see all the red marks on hte baby diapers where it was used. For fun, there had to be 50 spots. I was 2 hours just on wet sanding and Langka repair. It came out beautifully though, so it was worth it. The 1st pic is the repair, the 2nd the before.

I like the idea of using DP tire gel on trim! Thanks! I'll give it a try!

I had tried it on my FX35 and it lasted a long time and looked nice and dark.
