Product Information

ChipsAway specialists are experts in car scratch repair. We have a unique and fully mobile paint matching system they use means that, not only are you removing the scratch, but repainting it with the correct, precisely mixed colour and finishing it with the same lacquer seal as before. As this process restores the damaged area, there is no need for time-consuming waxing afterwards. Where tcut is not suitable, however, is with deeper scratches where it is far less successful, or even places where the car has been dented as well as scraped. It should only be used to rectify light, shallow, surface scratches where T-Cut can be most effective. Keyed car scratches or deep scrapes from a wall or kerb can often be too deep, going all the way down to the basecoat or primer layers of the car paint, for a simple cutting compound to fix. Where this is the case, a stronger method of scratch removal may be needed, and we’ll talk more about this later. How Does T-Cut Work? Once the scratch has gone, you need to take another clean cloth and remove the excess product. Again, this can be done with circular motions, and will ensure a buffed up finish. Not to mention, through buffing any excess tcut away, you remove any potential damage from unnecessary drips. Each product has its own instructions, which are worth reading carefully before starting. Generally though, you need to wash your car, or at least the area of repair, thoroughly. You also need to ensure you’re applying car treatments in the shade. Whether it’s wax, polish or scratch remover, standing out in the midday sun will inhibit the product’s ability to function properly.

Essentially, T-Cut is a good short-term solution, as it will primarily provide your car with a shine. Whilst also removing any light scratches or marks.

If You Are Inexperienced With Repairs: You need some idea of what you are doing, as a simple mistake like using the wrong type of cloth, or using one that had accidentally fallen to the ground, can cause more harm than good.

If you are running an old car into the ground until its dying day, at which point you intend on scrapping it, or selling it for parts, then scratch repair is neither cost nor time efficient. Yes, T-Cut can be used on all paint colours. However, certain products, like T-Cut Colour Fast, come in different versions to better match a range of paint colours.
