When not to use T Cut

The first thing to remember when “T-Cutting” a car is to ensure the paint is completely clean and dry, otherwise, you run the risk of damaging the paintwork when you start polishing it down. Cleaning the surface of your car is incredibly easy and can be done by either running the entire car through a car wash, or thoroughly cleaning and drying the car by hand. The next step is to put on a pair of gloves and apply tcut to a clean cloth – something without fluffy fibres. The reason for this is the fibres can break off into the T-Cut solution, and this can also mark the paint. Applying T-Cut For shallow, narrow scratches unscrew the clear cap to reveal the precision brush- remove any excess fluid from the brush and apply to the scratch in a single stroke
