Would anyone recommend using Metallic T-Cut??

Post by G-Man » Tue Nov 06, 2007 12:56 am

Hi just had my exige s2 a week and already the paintwork on the front clam has been scuffed/scratched by some wifey parking up against my car!! :(

Anyone know some good lotus paint detailers in glasgow area who can work their magic on it?

I'd obviously, if possible, like to avoid the cost of having the front clam resprayed.

Or would anyone recommend trying to T-Cut out the scratches? Paintwork is graphite grey metallic.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated

Cheers

G

if you can feel the scratch with your nail it won't polish out :(

Personally, I'd use menzerna polish but I will never use T-Cut.

Speak to Rich at Polished Bliss (.co.uk) and he'll tell you what you need.

Email Rich a couple of pictures and describe the depth of the scratches and he'll recommend a perfect polish for it. :thumbsup

I don't really like T-Cut but do have it in the garage just in case. I find that it can leave swirls...

I used to have a tin of Farecla G3 rubbing compound and it was great (lost it when I moved house :( )... or for smaller things I have used Safe-Cut.
I have no signature.
