Scratch removal product?

[Tommy Twist]

Hi folks,

I noticed a couple of light scuffs and scratches on my front and rear NS wings last night (WTF do these things come from?), don't look to have penetrated any deeper than the clear coat.

Could anyone recommend a polishing product that might remove or reduce them? I understand that T-Cut has gone out of fashion... (although I'm not quite sure why).

Many cheers!

if it's just a small area, you will get good results by hand.

I recommend menzerna 203s http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog ... -203s.html with a light cut hand pad: http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog ... cat24.html

T-Cut is out of fashion because it's like liquid sandpaper. The abrasive particles in it are very large and coarse and also very robust: when you work them they just keep cutting and never break down, leading to a slightly hazy finish. It also removes quite a large amount/depth of clearcoat.

Menzerna 203S diminishes: the abrasives start off relatively large and coarse but as you work them, they diminish away, leaving a sharp finish. The inital part is where the bulk of the correction work is done, then you keep working to refine the finish.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll give those a try! Is a microfibre cloth OK as a "wipe off" cloth for that stuff?

Thanks also explaining why T-Cut is potentially damaging. You live and learn.

Yes, a clean microfibre will be perfect.

T-Cut 'might' have been ok when it was new but times have moved on massively.
