T Cutting

[James M]

So it's roughly two months since I got my Boston 2.8 I'm so happy with it. Just treated it to a full service as a thanks. I want to give the body a bit of a glimmer, has anyone here used t cut? Seems pretty straightforward but the word "abrasive" is making me get hesitant.
Any advice?
Thanks

I would only use a polisher to bring it up to scratch. I found Tcut is not very good the same as all other abrasives if done by hand

Nice one, there's been a fair bit of DA polishing going on recently with quality results. Appears the way to go.

I would invest in a da polisher if you want great results safely but Andy achieves a stunning finish without but his arms are like Popeye's

For an off the shelf retail product T-cut is surprisingly abrasive/aggressive and is certainly not something I'd recommend anyone using.

Most of the modern finishing polishes can be used effectively by hand but it is a time consuming process.
Depending on how bad the paintwork is on the car in question it may be worth considering a filler heavy product like Autoglym Super Resin, Autosmart Topaz, Poorboys Blackhole, Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish etc..followed by some wax to lock in the properties of the previous product.

This was recommended to me by a body shop pal, much finer than T-Cut works a treat on flat or metallic.
