[Spiezels]

haha tell me about really gutted now cos the difference is amazing, looks like nothing had been done on it like tht since new in 1998 so u jus need to imagine lol.

T-cut is really harsh mate and cuts down quite deep into the paint.

Loads of better products out there imo.

Will get up a list of what i have in the morning or something.

The main problem with T-Cut is it tends to adds lots of very fine swirl marks into the paint while it attends to any major paint issues - it is a fairly harsh old fashioned type abbrassive and hard to work by hand. Maybe worth looking at the paint under bright forecourt type lights.

T Cut continues to cut the same froms it's just applied state or when it has been worked for a while. Newer products start of abbrassive but break down and dimish to a finer finishing polish to avoid the swirls the likes of T-cut puts in.

As others have said get some sealant or wax on the paint now as it is just clean unprotected paint.

 

[Spiezels]

oh right ok will do

wont use it again, sure it will b ok as it was first time using it.

cheers.

I'm pretty sure it was T-Cut I used on my old old old mk2 fiesta. Was through the paint in a matter of seconds lol.

 

[Leeshez]

I used T cut once or twice a long time ago and i swore never to use it again. Well the paint was shot at lol. Your a brave person. . Pics of the result?

 

[Spiezels]

wil get pics later, but it looks like new, love it, but not gona use agen jus in case,
lol

 

[S Garbett]

If i was you i wound invest in a good set of cleaning products!

Polish - AG SRP
Sealant - AG EGP
Wax - Colinite 476 - Quite Durable.

Theres 3 for 2 at halfords at the minutes tooooo.

You need some protection on the paint now you have used t-cut.

I've used T-Cut for years. With living down country lanes, and being driven off the road every other day by tractors + the like, the sides of my car get scratched by the hedges.
So long as you are carefull by not pressing too hard and not out there every weekend doing it, there is a low risk of going through the paint.
You stand more chance of doing that using a pc with better quality product.

 

[Spiezels]

cheers guys, yeah i didnt do it to much, and it was by the looks of things never done before, as paint had started to fade.

its looks like new paint now, much much better, think i will do it again in september jus before i sell it.
