Default Will Audi TouchUp Paint + Langka Help This?

Nice 4" deep scratch on my Brilliant Black... I'm leery of wetsanding, so I am thinking Langka.

I know it won't make it invisible... but will atleast make it alot less of an eyesore?

Where are you located? If in the Seattle area, I do touch-up &amp; wet sanding.

Default In that case, Langka might help, but it'll be a lot of work. I recommend...

picking up a fender from the junkyard for the same $20 you'd spend on langka, learning to wetsand, then fixing your car that way.

Default I don't think langka will help if it's a deep scratch; which it looks to be. Wet sanding will

probably be your best bet.

If I layer enough paint &amp; fill scratch, shouldn't Lanka just take the edges off the excess?

If I try wet-sanding, are Menzerna's FP &amp; IP by hand enough to remove hazing?

By hand? Probably not. I'd get some 3M light rubbing compound to use between the sanding &amp; MIP.
