I had a few light scratches on my wing, bought some Meguiars Scratch-X. I recommend it, it`s good stuff.
Stay away from t-cut!

Aye this stuff is great, I have seen it take away more than light scratches.

Got the guy in my work today to get it for his new car which has a mark already

 

[Alec]

I have used this before. Can highly recommend.

 

[Skinny]

i used this today and it did nothing :S anyone wanna run through exactly what you should do with it?

 

[Alec]

Nick if you could do a DIY on the best way that would be great.

 

[crxhugh]

never tried this one but tried auto glym's scratch removale aluminium oxide stuff (cant remeber the actual name) and that way very good.

if someone finds a polish to remove dents id be much happier

 

[Skinny]

hehe do what i did, drill the bodykit from the inside, and push it out with a pencil

 

[crxhugh]

there only tiny parking ones, or where people have lent stuff on the car.......

any way back to scratch removing, good stuff!!

whats wrong with T-CUT , i use that and G3 cutting compound and have for many years

 

[nickyboy]

In my experience and many others it actually causes more scratches

 

[paul20v]

well i dont know how you and many other have been using it but i have never come across that in the 20 years i have been using it , it is a cutting compound and not the final finisher which type have you been using , i am honestly intrested as i have never had bad results , with solid colours / laquer finishes , or 2k / cellulose or any other paints.

When using the scratch remover stuff, rubbing in a circle like suggested, it caused more scratches than were there before. The type r forum i`m a member of, has a huge Car Care section, and t-cut is one big no-no.

I love t-cut. It made my dodgey arch look not even half as bad as i was when i bought the car.. its not even that noticeable any more.. Before it stood out like mad, especially when it rained, it went a ****** colour :S lol

T-CUT FTW!!!!

never use it in circles it leaves swirl marks and thats with anything ,and there are several types of T-CUT theres even T-CUT thats the base colour of the car .
ah well each to there own i arent going to fall out with anyone over a bottle of T-CUT

 

[crxhugh]

never go in circles!!

it also depends on how hard u press, the more presure, the more it cuts!!, so on a bad area press more, on a normal area go more gently!

 

[Edd]

so when you T-CUT your supposed to do it in lines rather than circles?

 

[crxhugh]

yeah, but you only need to do the aeas that r bad, or u cld make it worse thn wen u started!

 

[paul20v]

saying that i T-CUT a whole car that was faded pink once and it came up fantastic
oh yeah and this car cost me 100 quid , but i had to put a gearbox in it , and i put the wheels on , and exhaust it set me back 500 in the end , still cheap thou this was 5 yrs ago.

g3 cutting compound will be best as this is what they use after spraying a car to remove all the crap that falls in your paint

 

[paul20v]

G3 is better for deep cutting its loads harsher than T-CUT ,dependes on how deep the scratches are.
