Ive never really believed in doing much car care, however i took in an old car t'other day with very faded paintwork, looked a bit of a state.

Found an old bottle of T-cut laying around and thought i'd give it a quick rub and see if it does anything - bloody wow :eek:

Thats just a quick rub round in a circle, all of the wing is completely dry, you can see what it looked like before.

Lost for words.
 
It's not that T-Cut is particularly amazing, any cutting compound would have a similar effect. It's just that the results are so immediate and give such an improvement that it makes cutting back oxidised paint like this quite rewarding.

Tcut isn't polish though is it, so you'll have to slap some wax/polish on over the top to ensure it's sealed. :)

I had a Renault 5 in the same colour as that Corsa, once I'd used Tcut, it looked amazing...can really boost the look of a car...and I'd guess help sell it too. :)

Well yeah thats the idea, someone coming to see it tomorrow and it looks awful :p Strangely some panels are still dark bright red, and others are absolutely knackered, cant explain how that happened. See the bonnet as an example, its absolutely fine :confused:
 
its what i did when i got this tatty punto, blown HG and awful looking paint.. cost me £50.

(spot the bit i tested the t-cut on the wing before i bought it!)

fixed the HG, cleaned it up and sold it for about £700 i think it was :D

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:p

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.
 
I dont normally have knackered stuff like this, usually metallic decent 04+ models which dont need any of this jazz doing. Thats why this is new ground for me.

Just started spitting and it seems t-cut doesnt work when its raining, boo :'(
 
I found my brother's cheap rotary was naff, and the car ame out better when I did it by hand, and it isn't that much effort really, couple hours to tcut and apply 3 different waxes. :)

Ive got a silverline, and its just the job, takes the ball ache out of 'detailing:p'

Its hard work on modern finishes tbh, so its well worth investing in a polisher of some sort
 
you think t-cut is good, try farcella, G3 and G10 compounds, awesome stuff with a mop.

make sure you use a good wax on top once your done though or else all your work will be wasted in a month.
