t-cut?

[Inactive]

Hi all,

I cliipped my car bumper on a pillow whilst parking, been told t-cut is good for getting little straches out.

Is there any techniques?

Thanks

t-cut!!!! noooo!


*not sure, could get it machined out would be much easier than by hand

T-cut isn't bad mate. Worth a try. Then polish.

On a serious note, machine polishing if you can, if not super resin polish by auto glym.

What about a chip stick?

 

[JD]

Depends how bad the scuff is, but that is I guess the final cheaper option.

Its quite big but not major

 

[JD]

Deep? Any primer showing?

 

[Alan]

Careful.

 

[AK]

Can't have been much damage if you hit a pillow!

Pics of said damage?

 

[JD]

Careful.

ha, but where is the fun in that

Can I just point out, that in this test, the chap has not used any paint depth guages. So when he says that it was not cutting enough, he has no idea how much paint he has taken off.

Still would not let T-Cut anywhere near my paint work, or my customers'!

ill go get a pic now

 

[Inactive]

If you need some more i took 3 at different angles lol

 

[Inactive]

To be honest that pic is rubbish there isnt no depth on the graze

 

[JD]

I would hope that most of that would come out with a decent cutting compound. But wouldn't put my money on it. Could certainly get it looking a lot better!

 

[JD]

Oh and I am still lol'ing at "pillow"!

 

[richy22]

Id hate to hit the pillow you did

 

[Inactive]

It'll take the white marks off but it needs repiared and painted.

Still can't see it in the original post :S

Cheers Gallorific. PC will get rid of a lot of that, but not all, still can't really tell how much depth there is there.

Run your finger nails over it, if they catch you need it filling and respraying.

No depth at all just white marks, judging by gally post it should clear up nice if it takes the marks off

 

[JD]

Right at the bottom I can see buggered plastic lad. I would personally be worried about ripping paint off with a machine polish.

I would personally talk to a body shop about a quick repair. Shouldn't be too bad.

 

[Inactive]

I wash just going to apply some tcut by hand?

 

[JD]

In all honesty, any thing is worth a try lad. I highly doubt there is going to be much you can do, or even much more damage that you can do. Give it a whirl. Can't be worse than when you started sadly

 

[Gally]

Take the t-cut over it lad, it'll take your eye off it for the time being until you can afford or want to get it painted.

 

[Inactive]

Cool, thanks for the advice, is there any techniques i.e circle movements, leave it on there for a few mins... I used it once on my old car but not properly i dont think...

Just cloth of any kind really rub it on then just rub it off with a bit of elbow grease, it's not going to do any harm.

Ill post another pic when its done..

Get some Meguirars applicator pads from Halfords. Rub in circular motions until there is a haze. Then wipe off with a clean microfibre towel, again from Halfords.

Let us know how it goes lad.
