T-cut

Mort · 03-07-2006, 19:46

I've got a few slight scratches in various places over the Furby, and a rather unsightly blob on the middle front of the bonnet where a bird decided to relieve itself on the first day of my weeks holiday, so it wasn't removed for a while and left a nice blistering effect.

Is T-cut worth a go, or should I be looking at getting some proper polish that can be hand applied?

To use T-cut, apply the same final touch as you should with Chamois leathers.
i.e. bin it.

use something like Autoglym srp.
It has a very fine cutting compound, and a decent polish, and can be layered for a better finish, although it can be dusty if put on too thickly. ( like what I normally do, and have to wash the car again after polishing to get the dust off

)

If you really like your Furby DONT use T- Cut, it removes the laquer then the paint.( advice from Chips Away man)

I had a REALLY deep scratch sorted today by Chips Away ( 2nd time i have used them BRILL), he told me what they use for light scratches. I Really MUST ask again what they use and write it down.

Scratch X is the dogs... it's great stuff.

Scratch X didn't do anything for the scratch I had, but that Brasso wadding stuff did and it's completely gone now

Is the brasso good for metalics and the black then?

If so nice one
