Langka versus Dr.Cholorship

Has anyone used both of these products so they can compare them? I have a scratch and a rock chip to repair. From reading the websites...Dr.Cholorchip sounds better for the rock chips and Langks for the scratch. I am curious to hear from people that have used these products.
Is Langka really easy to blend in after using that solution and the card?

I just gave up on the process and will wait to have the hood repainted professionally.......wayyyyy down the road.

I had good results on my Jet Black with Dr. Colorchip. If you bend down and squint and look closely, yes you can see where the chips were. If I spent more time layering the paint with multiple coats, etc it might have been even better. But I'm pretty happy with the results..

AntonV...did you give up after trying one of those products? I did some reading but and most of the posts seem fairly positive...I haven't heard from someone that has tried both of dr.colourchip and LANKA. I know I won't get as good of results as a body shop, but it is just one chip and scratch so I figured I'd try one of those out.

Haven't tried both but with Langka the worst you can do is be back where you started. It takes skill and patience to make it work. With the thin paint cars have today I don't see how's it's possible to "fill in" a scratch but with the Langka at least you can smooth out the blob. Use a paint pen or very small painter's brush to start and not a touch up bottle brush.
