Test it on a piece of plastic first plastic allows you to see how thin a paint is because thin paint on plastic will bead I didn't thin out the paint when I did it the ford paint was already pretty thin. The nissan touch up paint is pretty thin as well. But different bottles can have different viscosity. Also before you spray get a piece of cardboard and test the tip to make sure it is flowing properly before spraying onto your vehicle you don't want it to spit paint onto other surfaces of the car.

I've been told you can use very fine sand paper, wet it with soapy water, then sand down the spots. I've been too chicken to try this on my car, but maybe it works.

langka seems like a fluke to me... wathc thier videos and you'll see what i mean... the screen is soooo small you can't even see if the product is even working or not... make it bigger lose resolution either way i can't see anything~! someone buy it and tell me if it works... otherwise its like that G20 scratch remover crap... completely useless. they've patented a non-functional white cream

Pep Boys sells this plastikote stuff called "paint leveler", it works pretty good similar to langka.
