t-cut is a bit agressive, try a polish with i microfine grinding agent in it, the label on the back will normally tell you what the polish has in it. i would use t-cut as a last resort as you could make a real mess of the paintwork. i think some places sell restorer for old paintwork which has mild form of cutting agent in it, that would be a better bet
normal polish has a cutting agent in it.......
best to try the lightest first however on an older car the finish is rarely perfect so you will probably end up using t-cut anywayz...or something similar such as auto glym paint restorer....
then apply a good wax.......or a very good polish such as auto glym super resin or zymol.....
Normal Autoglym polish (square label in red?) cuts quite a lot off my paint - swapping to meguairs or something next time!
Get a good polish, with as little petroleum distalates as possible. Are you working by hand or RO?
After youve polished, use a glaze like 3Ms Imperial hand glaze. Top off with a good quality pure wax (again, as little petroleum d as possible, avoid stuff like turtle wax, etc).
www.seriousperformance.co.uk has all youll need, Check out P21S paint cleanser and wax. Buy zymol if you want to believe their hype and have money to burn.

Thats true, it shouldnt. But pure carnauba is as hard as a brick, hence petroleum d is used to soften it. BUT there are diff. levels of P D - the more times it has been distilled to remove impurities the better. Still want as little of it as possible in my waxes. Some of the expensive zymol waxes have very little or no P D, and use natural substances to soften their waxes. HOWEVER, lets not forget, most paint/lacquer has P D in it at some point I believe.
So if youre paranoid about not have P D on your paint, its kind of like saying "Im not putting P D on my P D".
Check out www.autopia.org. Cool site for all things wax.
