Default smoothing touch ups

I touch up my car (from small pits from rocks, etc) and it shows because the touch up paint is raised. I've ben unsuccessful with Langa...any other way.

Interesting comment on Langa as I too gave it a go and have not been able to achieve much success with it. I've followed all of their instructions but, alas, still end up with either a paint mole or an empty nick, never a smoothed-off blob.

how long are you all letting the touch up paint cure? from experience, i have learned to let the paint cure for 7-10 days before smoothing with Langka. Never failed me, even on shallow chips.

24hrs, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, and 20 days... In other words, I tried using it touch-ups the day after I received it and also hit on touch-ups that I performed a week earlier, some that had been done two weeks earlier, and the a few done the day after we purchased the car (March 19). Haven't messed with it a few weeks... Too busy working over the finish with a PC OB.
