Hi guys,
So ive got a few scratches on my car, from where i crashed into a wheelie bin outside my house dont ask how.
So i tryed to use t-cut on it, and tbh, it didnt do anything at all!

So im wondering if theres anything else i could use to get rid of them, aswell as stone chips etc.
The problem is, the car is ginger,

Any sugestions apreciated

Cheers
Jack

Was it colour coded T-Cut or just generic T-Cut?

Colour plus - Turtle Wax

T cut - Colour version

And if none of that works...

youl never get stone chips or a scratch where you can see primer or you can feel with your finger nail out with t cut or any other cutting compound for that matter

If t-cut won't work i can't really see anything working. I've a nice scratch down the rear quarter that has gone through to the primer. Needs rubbing down and respraying if i ever get around to it..
