They're total shite.
The White T-Cut polish works wonders on my car, though.

kz - t-cut doesnt come in any colours mate, its a cutting fluid. its brown in colour and is used on all cars.

Ur thinking of t-cut polish, which is from the same manufacturers, but doesnt do half as good a job as t-cut does. The stuff ur thinkin bout is more of a 'semi restoring polish', which is the stuff u would use AFTER u've done ur t-cutting.

kz - The only white used on corsas 93-present is 43L Glacier white (non metallic)....so u can use normal t-cut........I always found it a nice/easy colour to get good results from with t-cut, just use a circular motion over a larger area that the scratch (dont go mad on just the scratch, try to 'blend' the surrounding area in)

I've done a few bits on my GREEN 106. If i find a mark that won't polish out i use T-Cut, it hasn't discoloured my car.

sweet. im afraid of the panel looking a different colour to the rest? my car is white though so it shouldnt be too bad right? i will polish the rest of the car at the same time anyway. and i cant remember what the name of my white colour is, but theres only one aint there, and i take it that is metallic?

cheers matt

put t-cut onto a soft cloth and rub into area.

If u have a metallic car, u shouldnt use 'original' tcut, as this will discolour the paint. u shud use the 'metallic t-cut' for this.

Anyhoo....the application is the same. Rub lightly into area in a circular motion. After, u shud polish/wax the area to bring back the shine 100%
