Anyone have success with langka on scratches?

I had 2 fairly deep scratches in the runner and wanted to try to fix them when I read about the langka stuff. The langka came pretty quick but the touch up paint took forever from toyota. When I finally went at it I followed the directions but it still did not look satisfactory. It now looks like a scratch with some paint in it but is still visible and you can still feel the scratch. I tried it again and it was a little better but still not like I've seen in pictures. Any of you guys have success with scratches with this stuff? I know it says to be patient and may take multiple applications because scratches are harder to go at than chips so I'm going to keep trying but before I do any more does, anyone know if it will hurt the clearcoat/paint if I keep using the touchup paint and langka over and over on the same spot? It says its safe for clear coats but is it really ok for multiple applications of paint and langka?

I'd love to help you out a bit more but all I can contribute is this link to a search at autopia.org. Looks to me like it isn't the easiest product to learn but can provide good results. I just haven't ever used the product. Good luck to you.

i have used langka quite a few times. i am pleased with it. it takes a couple of times to get the hang of it- how much to use,etc. considering the other options, which aren't many- i believe it does an adequate to good job

Is the scratches through the clear coat? If not you can buff them out.
