i agree with brad, mate of mine used it to try getting rid of a scratch, managed to get rid of the scratch but also got rid of all the paint around it | |

unless you know what your doing with g3 or a compound leave it to the pros as you can soon go through the lacquer and get to the paint!! | |

I'd try AutoGlym's new polish. Ultra Deep Shine. It's designed for dark colours/blacks and reduces swirl marks and light scratches. :thumbs: | |

gotta be careful though as u can only have it mopped so many times and if the paints in bad condition can leave large marks which look crap as we found out on my mates corsa | |

mopped is where they use a cutting compound and go over your car with a mop, takes the top layer off i believe but looks good when done. | |

as Sig said get it mopped as you'll forever be crying about swirl marks if you use T cut on black :lol: | |

body repair guy recomended using g3 (less aggressive than t cut) , then something called faralite and finally a polish like autoglym to hold in the shiney ness. | |

more harm than good if yours is a post 97 model. due to laquar. post 97 black models used water something something paint. Get the car mopped by a bodyshop. £50 - 60. Had it done to mine. highly recommend it | |

i hate using t cut, car allways looks worse than before as it drys so quickly and is then a nightmare to get off | |

well i was thinking of t-cutting the whole car tomorrow, but i dont know if its worth it, as i put so much polish on it, the colour is ok, but i though if i t-cut it, the colour will look alot better? |
