Angry Got keyed...Anyone used Langka to fix??

Front driver side panel and both doors. Pretty deep and the longest is about 12 inches. Was thinking of trying this stuff from Langka before bring it to a paint shop. Anyone used this with success before?

Here is the link:

I've used it. It works, but only to a certain extent. The premise is that filling the scratch will leave unwanted touch-up paint in the form of an uneven coat. Langka tries to smooth the surface by removing the excess paint so that it's more a uniform layer.

From my experience, I wasn't able to fill the knicks/scratches in without that touched-up look. I know body shops also use touch-up paint, but I don't know what they use to smooth the surface down. Maybe it's a very mild rubbing compound...?

You can try Langka and see if you like it or not. It certainly is better than not using Langka at all.
