Hi guys, first post here. My wife is a happy owner of a 2008 fabia estate but we bought it with many small superficial scratches arround door handles, so following Which magazine I bought T-CUT but I'm worry since I have read few people advising not to use it. my questions are: will T-cut damage or blur the paint? will oxidise? will I have to wax reguraly to keep away the haze or oxidation?(as mentioned on ChipsAway website) also is it better to mixed with polish http://forums.hexus.net/automotive/183873-would-i-use-t-cut-my-car-remove-area-light-scratches.html

or grease elbow? which adviced to use grease elbow before washing the car.

will  appreciate any comment.

 

Elbow grease is a English expression for hard work. It's not an actual product

 

T-Cut is an abrasive that just removes a layer of paint but if the scratches are down the the primer it won't work.

Thanks TMB but I got a product call Elbow Grease not grease elbow  :(  it's good to know any way.

Have you tried T-Cut? today I tried in a small hidden area and doesn't look that abrasive, I'm thinking to do on other parts when get more time to wash,wax etc. but will like to know more before I damage the paint.

Sorry if taking over your post crazybeeliuzhe.

Yeah, I've used T-Cut loads of times. I used to work in a garage and we used to T-Cut cars after they had been resprayed. Very hard work to do an entire car.

 

It shouldn't damage the paint if you put some polish on after it.

 

I see there are indeed some products called Elbow Grease. However, in the context you were talking about I'm sure it just refers to rubbing/cleaning.

Thank you Newbie, g3 was down the list on which, why is t-cut rubbish?

You can find elbow grease in B + Q, it's next to the glass hammers and the sparks for your grinder. Don't bother asking them for a long weight though, I got bored.

Haha, when I worked at a Ford main dealer I got sent to the stores for 'Three blue sky hooks'. I was only 18 at the time and pretty new to cars. I argued that there was no such thing but they made me go and ask for them saying that they were used for car radios.

 

Should have seen the storeman's face when I asked

We had a work experience kid in the other week. I gave him a rattle can of paint and told him to shake it until it stopped rattling. 45 minutes later he was complaining of arm ache.
