I talked to them on the phone last night. They say it will only remove the touchup paint.

I used this a few years ago on one of my cars.. It will scratch the crap out of your clear coat with its "micro abrasives" during the bump removal process.

However you can easily shine the clearcoat back up with a good machine polishing...

I used it last night and it did what it said it would. I just looked at my car and didn't see any new scratches from the product. The trick is to remove the blob just enought to blend in with the car. I find it to be very tricky to get it just right, but with pratice it should be easier.

Did it scratch up/dull out/remove clear coat or any damage to OEM paint?

BINGO. Following the directions to the letter will yield positive results. Most people don't have the patience to follow the directions. That's why they don't get positive results. I have used it and it did what it could do. It is not going to be 199% perfect but a chip can be made to look 100 times better with that product.

Patience is detrimental to your outcome.

I'm really picky. I didn't see any damage from the langka system at all. I also washed and waxed my car today and didn't notice a thing.

It will at least make the chip the same color as your car, the rest is a bit more tricky. The directions say if you remove too much go back to step two (adding the paint).

To be honest with you now that I know that it works I'm not so worried about those 2 tiny chips anymore. One I got to be yellow, the other one is back to white. They are so small you have to be right on top of them to see the.
