Like Swiss Tony?

Polishing a Vauxhall Corsa is like making love to a beautiful woman.

What's the best way to apply it? I.e. swirl it around or what?

Haven't got the bottle to hand

My L reg Fiesta is a skip (ask Fox) but the pink panels are annyong me a bit. The car is worth 4p, so what do you guys recomend for a cheap as hell polish to apply after some T-Cut just to make it look less cruddy...?

Just go to Wilkinsons and buy some Turtlewax for 4 quid-odd. Does the job.

Vauxhall red is prone to fading, as are reds from other Manufacturers.

Invest in a cheapo Rotary polisher from Ebay (35 notes), will make your cars worth another £150 imo.Its all in the presentation imo when it comes to selling cars, the sheds ive sold is unbelievable, they all had one thing in common, they were all shiney

Failing that, find a local valeter and strike a deal, we have a old boy locally who do a basic valet for £35, it took him an afternoon to get a car upto scratch.

Is this the one you have?

Thinking of getting on myself with some Scratch X to remove a few light scratches on my paintwork.

After a Tcut and polish:

Granted the after photo is a lot better, it still makes a huge difference

Your strange!

Nice result there Jez :cool:

- Just out of interest, what do you actually do for a living?

IAmATeaf · 21 Mar 2008 at 12:18

A friend of mine years ago always used to use t-cut as a polish on his then gold Ford Crap-ri until his uncle who worked for Fiat told him what t-cut actaully does :eek:

I've got that one and I think Lopez does too, works perfectly well. The included sponge pads aren't of the highest quality, but they are fairly cheap and easy to replace anyhow.

Scratch X is rubbish, if your buying a Silverline, use some proper cutting compound with it.

Ive got the newer orange version of that (its got soft start and better speed control).

The pads supplied are poo, Ive got some 3m pads which are much better, id advise getting 5" and 3" pads with the backing plates.

Rotaries take a bit of getting used to, but you have to be a complete idiot to really **** up your paint, but you can impart some holograms quite easily, it needs some practice, unlike the PC or UDM which even a blind man can use.

Its actually very good with a machine,you just need to really work it in.

Seems we all have this problem with red corsas! haha. Mines in the same state again. Gonna have a go with t-cut and wax myself see if it helps lol shame it looked wicked when I'd had it done but it's a mess again now.

Mark A · 21 Mar 2008 at 18:43

Would a rotary be safe to use on black metallic/ pearlescent paint with a clear coat?.
