re-spray your car lol

Not a big t-cut fan myself as it never seems to last. G3 Compound and a wax is far better.

i always wax after a tcut/polish colour magic works well tho :)

^^ G3 for metallic colours and G4 for the solid colours :nod::thumbsup:

I wouldnt use t cut it seriously damages your paintwork, I use autoglym super resin polish twice, then 2 coats of wax to protect it

dont be silly! you close your eyes and imagine it shinier

T-cut metallic (not normal T-cut) on either solid or metallic paint,then a proper wax. From a tin,not a bottle.

That always worked for me when i had too much time in my life,though mine gets nothing but a shampoo every few months..

A cutting compund is meant to damage the paint work, in a sense. But i would use G3, and then polish/wax after. Cutting your paint back leaves miscroscopic dimples which will fill with dirt. Polish prevents this

Put the kettle on and have a wank.

After every polish you should always wax!

Exactly, glad someone mentioned that. If you have old, poor paint that needs renovating, then you more than likely need to start with a cutting compound to get rid of the dirty/uv damaged layers of paint/lacquer, and then polish, and then wax.

Very true, but I think people tend to over use T cut, a friend of mine used it once every week before waxing and his paintwork is dull now from all the laquer and paint removed.

I really wouldn't use T-Cut. If you have some imperfections I find AG SRP is good and then wax/sealent. You should only polish the car every 6-8 weeks depending on conditions. If I'm washing the car I'll use AG Aqua Wax just to keep the protection topped up.
