Paint touch ups

Any recommendations on how to deal with those nasty little paint chips that tend to show up immediately after you wax a (black) car? I wasn't sure if the answer is to use an OEM-approved touch-up paint? A prior thread had recommended this (http://www.langka.com) but am not sure if it's still the way to go.

RE: Paint Chips

I was probably the one who recommended Langka, and still use it on my Benzes when needed. However, I recently purchased a Dr.Colorchips kit for my G35 and the wife's Odyssey. Both suffer from that cheap Japanese car paint that seems to chip when you go anywhere or even blow on them. Both had more hood and front bumper chips than I could count. The kit comes with detailed instructions, is very easy to use, and the chips are gone. I'd go with the medium size kit which I believe costs $49.95 on their website.

I have used both and the rersults are fair. Don't beleive the hype that you won't be able to tell where they were because you wil see them but they will be less noticeable.

I found the company Dr color chip in the star magazine.
