Langka (Mother's branded) 6 Bottles (2 oz.) for $19.99
I guess Mother's care care decided to repackage the Langka Blob Eliminator chip and scratch repair kit under their own name. However, Mothers decided to say using Langka technology right on the package.
A seller on eBay is selling a case of 6 sealed 2 oz. bottle kits for $19.99 plus $7.50 shipping. Just search for "langka" and it should pull them up. Considering that Langka sells the one of the same Blob Eliminator for $19.95...six for $19.99 is a steal.
I bought them and received them and they are as advertised. Fast shipping too.

I used my moms 2003 silver blue VW Passat wagon as a test case. It works okay, I'm sure I'll get better with more practice. For the price, its good. From reviews on here, I agree that on lighter colors its not going to be perfect, but better than before though.

I used langka and the results didn't come out so great. I don't think I really knew what I was doing even after watching that stupid 5 minute video with the red car or truck or whatever like 50 times. It covered up the chip but it was not at all uniform with the rest of the paint.

just to reiterate what you can read elsewhere.
the success of this stuff is dependent on the skill of the user.
my first attempts worked out ok, but i'm still honing my technique. I'm planning to make another pass at it soon.
I'd like to see that video they make for their technique (are they using the flat area of the card??) I was mostly trying the squeegee-style but i didn't have fine enough weave fabric for the final buff up.
the good thing about langka is you can always go back...
so far i learned a lot.
little chips are easy to fix and look fine & scratches are harder to work with.
i've got a scrape in a terrible spot on my rear bumper which i'm having difficulty with:
(it is 1 of 2 scrapes from the original owner...[who also left me a couple primer level scratches] - i'm proud to say the all (99.99%) the paint wear i've given to the car has been clear coat level...)
On the edge/crest of bumper - a steep convex angle - It is really the only troublesome repair - the others i am confident i could get really nice if i move a bit slower next time.
I also i tried rubbing/polishing compound method on it to even the edges but the touch up wouldn't wear quickly enough compared to the surrounding area - i probably let it get too hard... (and my rubbing compound marred the nearby area [duh] - so i had to polish that out too)
Regardless the angle is tough to work on. (I might have more success with the polishing method on a flat surface.)
it is also worth noting here that the dealer's BB touchup looks a bit lighter than the factory paint under bright lights (could be the lack of a significant clear coat maybe...)
