The Blob Eliminator is removing all of the touch-up paint. What am I doing wrong?
Answer: When this happens, here is what to do.
1. Make sure the paint has dried long enough, usually 5 min to 2 hours.
2. Rub less aggressively. Once you see the paint begin to smooth down (paint begins to show up on the cloth), rub lighter watching after each stroke to determine when to stop removing touch up paint.
3. You can reduce the strength of the Blob Eliminator by diluting with water. We recommend a 1:1 dilution ratio to begin with.
4. If you still keep pulling the touch up paint out, then we recommend you try our other process. Go to this page for instructions and graphics of the process. How it works Method 2.

It is both a chemical (softening) and mechanical (rubbing) process. Once the touch up paint has dried, The Blob Eliminator will re-soften ONLY the touch up paint, and the light rubbing will mechanically “smooth” down the excess paint, with ONLY the touch up paint appearing on the cloth.
This process has been used to repair over 20,000,000 vehicles worldwide. It is a unique and proven process that will safely remove excess touch up paint from the surface of clear-coat painted and non-clear/coat vehicles without affecting the original paint surface of your vehicle.

Yes, BUT we recommend using Langka Touch-up Paint or the Manufacturers Touch-up Paint. The Blob Eliminator is the ONLY safe product on the market when using any touch-up paint.
The Blob Eliminator is designed to work with all touch up paints. To order your paint from Langka Click Here.
Note: Some touch-up paints may need to dry longer and you may need to rub very lightly as some touch up paints soften more quickly then others. Also, you can dilute The Blob Eliminator with water if you want to reduce the strength of the Blob Eliminator when using some touch up paints.

It depends on how long the “old” touch up paint has been on the vehicle. The Blob Eliminator is only “guaranteed” to work on newly applied touch up paint as in our directions. However, it will most likely work on old touch up paint, just no guarantees. You’ll just need to be sure the area is very clean since you will need to rub longer and use plenty of The Blob Eliminator if you are going to attempt removing this old touch up paint. We recommend you use The Blob Eliminator for repairing some new chips, to get a feel for what it does. Once you have done that, then try it on the “old” touch up paint areas… just takes some elbow grease and a bit more rubbing time. BE SURE TO USE A VERY SOFT CLOTH.
YES. Within 30 days If for any reason you are not happy with our products, Langka will refund the cost of the product in full. Just send it back with a copy of your invoice if you still have it. Otherwise, include your name, address, phone number, and email address so we can look-up your order. We’ll refund the cost of the product you are returning and email you as well.
NO. This is the beauty of our product and why so many rave about it. The Blob Eliminator is specifically prepared to only remove the applied touch up paint, and not affect the original manufacturers clear coat. However, on repainted surfaces, you should test it in an inconspicuous area i.e., lower panel below the door. Do not use on vehicles form the 50’s and early 60’s IF they still have the original manufactures paint on them. Most old vehicles (30’s-60’s) have been repainted, and most of them have been repainted using basecoat/clearcoat paints. IF this is the case, the Blob Eliminator will work great.

Yes. Any clear coat painted surface. (Most all vehicles since 1990 are clear coated at production).
Remove the rust using a device called the Prep Pen, an adjustable sanding pen specifically designed for removing rust. The tip of the Prep Pen can be sharpened to reach tight or small areas. The real question is “are you going to keep this vehicle”? IF so, then you need to neutralize OR grind-out the rust with the Prep Pen before you repair the chips. Navy Jelly or similar liquid products claim to “neutralize” rust… but that is debatable.

Metallic paints have a tendency to darken a bit. We have developed a method called the SQUEEGIE Method or WET Method and it helps greatly. When it comes to metallic paints, here’s a tip: SHAKE the paint very well to get the metallic flakes into solution before you apply the paint to the chip or scratch.
We also recommend applying several thin layers of paint, Metallic flakes tend to float or sink inside the chip. By applying multiple thin layers there is no place for the metallic flakes to sink or float and will give you the closest color match.
