Q.
How does The BlobEliminator® work?
A. It is a chemical and mechanical process. Once the
touch up paint has dried, The Blob Eliminator® will resoften the paint,
and the light rubbing mechanically begins to "smooth" down the exess paint,
with the touch up paint now appearing on the cloth.
This process has been
used to repair over 20,000,000 vehicles worldwide. It is a unique
and proven chemical process that will safely remove excess touch
up paint from the surface of clearcoat painted vehicles without affecting
the original paint surface of your vehicle.
Q. Will The BlobEliminator®
work on the touch up paint I put on my car some time ago? A.
It depends on how long the "old" touch up paint has been on the
vehicle. The BlobEliminator® 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 BlobEliminator® if you are going to
attempt removing this old touch up paint. We recommend you use The
BlobEliminator® 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.
Q. Is this product guaranteed?
A. YES. If for any reason The BlobEliminator®
does not remove the excess blob of paint that was applied up to 24 hours
prior, Langka Corp will refund the cost of the product in full. .
Q. Will The BlobEliminator®
damage the clear coat surface on my car?
A. NO. It is specifically prepared to only remove the
applied touch up paint, and not affect the original manufacturers clear
coat surface. However, on repainted surfaces, you should
test it in an inconspicuous area i.e., lower panel below the door.
Do not use on vehicles in
the 50's and early 60's if they have the original
manufactures paint on them.
Q. Can The BlobEliminator®
be used on plastic bumbers or fiberglass?
A. Yes. Any clear coat painted
surface. (All vehicles since 1990 are clear coated at the manufacture)
Q. What is the shelf life of The
BlobEliminator® ?
A. Two years. We recommend you shake it well before
using.
Q. Do I need to purchase anything else?
A. You will need to purchase the touch up paint that matches
your car and get a smooth, tightly woven cloth (bed sheet, T-shirt, diaper).
Your dealership or local auto parts supply store will have your paint
color. If you don't know your paint code, Click here. Again, The
BlobEliminator® is designed
specifically for manufacturers touch up paint, not body shop paints (it
will work, but it works very quickly...so let the paint dry longer).
If the paint chip is down to the metal, you may want to put a layer of
Primer down first, then apply your touch up paint. We also provide other
product on our web site that you may find helpful (fine tip brush, microbrushes,
clear coat, paint sealant, etc).
Q.
Is this repair permanent?
A. Absolutely! The paint may shrink over time, and you may have
to repeat the process if this occurs. The only precaution, as with
any newly applied paint, is to not power wash or power buff the repaired
areas for 10 days.
Q. How this technology been used before (is been
proven to work) ?
A. Auto dealerships
worldwide have used this type of repair process for the past 17 years.
In the US alone, over 20 million cars have been repaired to increase
their appearance and value. The BlobEliminator® is
the first professional product available for YOU using standard touch
up paints, available at your auto dealership or most auto parts stores.
Q. Can I damage my car using The
BlobEliminator® ?
A. It will not affect OEM (original equipment manufacture)
clear coat painted surfaces. We caution using on repainted vehicles or
defective painted surfaces or vehicles model in the 1950-1965 that still
have their original paint.
Q. How long will a 2oz. bottle normally last?
A. You can repair 20 to 30 chips per 2oz. bottle.
Q. What about metallic paints?
A. The BlobEliminator®
will remove the excess metallic and non-metallic excess
paint (and other surface contaminents...road tar, tree sap, bug goo, etc.).
In some cases, metallics have a tendancy to darken a bit. The reason is
quite simple. You have to get enough metallic flakes in the chip to refract
light, and that is a variable we cannot control. For best results,
shake the paint very well to get the metallic flakes into solution before
you apply the paint. NOTE:
We have developed a new Method for doing Metallic paints (this is the
same process we recommend for doing scratches also. It's called
the "Squeegie" Method). Click
Here to view this method. This seems to help greatly.
Clear coating the finished repair may be required to further enhance the
shine.
Q. What about scratches?
A. Scratches are just "long" chips. We recommend you allow the
paint to dry at least 12-24 hours and then rub perpendicular to the scratch
while removing the excess paint. Rub LIGHTLY as the paint has a tendancy
to pull out of scratches. You will need to use more The
BlobEliminator® and rub
a little longer. Click here for detailed
instructions , including our new Squeegie Method when doing deep
scratches.
Q. What about using spray paint from those rattle
cans?
A. A lacquer based spray paint is preferred. It is a more
durable paint chemistry for doing paint chips. If it is a non-lacquer
based paint, see the next question.
Q. Will LANGKA work with NON-lacquer based paint
like the paint my painter gave me when he painted the vehicle?
A. Yes, but again we recommend using manufacturers touch up paint.
If you use this non-lacquer base body shop paint, let the paint dry for
2-3 days then do the LANGKA Process. Rub very lightly with The
BlobEliminator® . You
may need to put a clear coat layer over the touch up area in addition
as these paints have a tendency to loose their glossy look.
