Default Langka

Not a perfect solution, but it's easy and works reasonably well. It won't work on old touch-up blobs. And in my experience you have to let the fresh blob dry/cure longer than Langka recommends. Like, an hour or two instead of 10 or 15 minutes. Otherwise it removes too much.

If you want to take a more serious approach to touch-up repair, there's a very good article at <a href="http://carcareonline.com/viewarticle.aspx?art=8">carcareonline.com</a>. I don't follow the steps there verbatim (too much work), but the article is a useful source of tips that you can incorporate into whatever level of detail you want to adopt.<ul><li><a href="http://langka.com/newsite/index2.html">http://langka.com/newsite/index2.html</a</li></ul>

Default I never used this but it should work.

<b>I found this by using a search engine and words. Pretty cool huh?</b>

Default LOL. C'mon....

A Dremel with a wire brush tool would be more than adequate.

I couldn't help but notice the first two hits are mine. Maybe I need to find another way to spend my time?
