There are other cases where applying tcut yourself, or trying to repair the scratches yourself, are not recommended. If you are unfamiliar with repairs It is also for this reason that it is important to follow the instructions precisely when using T-Cut. When used as a one-off, T-Cut is generally speaking relatively harmless to your car; however, Since T-Cut removes the very top layer of paint from the surface of the car around the scratch, persistent use can wear the paint of your car thin. How To Prepare Your Car for T Cut There are, without a doubt, a few places where tcut can be a useful tool for car owners. Where T Cut can be used on all types of car paintwork, no matter the type or colour of the car, it is more versatile than just being restricted to automotive vehicles. T Cut, as a compound, can also be used on caravans, boats and even around the home to help remove scratches. Furthermore, as well as a car scratch remover, T-Cut is used by some as a cleaning process to help restore vehicle paint. Similar to when you polish car scratches with a coloured car polish, T-Cut helps remove minor imperfections from the surface of your car.

Step 3: Rub the T-Cut over the scratch with a steady and firm hand, ensuring you move the cloth in a circular motion. Do not be alarmed if your clothes change colour, as it is only due to the top layer of paint coming off.

You might be considering investing in an electric car polisher if your scratches look really terrible. Since the top, protective layer has been removed, the car now needs to be waxed on a regular basis to prevent corrosion. Waxing is a vital step to remember, as the last thing you want to do, when removing damage from a car, leaves it vulnerable to more damage at a later date.Ultimately, using T-Cut will restore shine initially, but the paint will always fade (due to it being a paint restoration compound and not paint) and the best way to give an old car a new lease of colour life would be a new paint job. This can prove expensive. When not to use T Cut Deeper Scratches We also apply a medium and deep scratch to each section to see if the car scratch removers make a difference to these. However, most of the products we test don't claim to remove these types of scratches. Washing after scratches are gone Prepare for more than one application Even on shallow scratches we tested on, we found that many car scratch removers needed more than one application to get rid of the scratch. Next comes the application. Working in a circular motion, rub the solution over the scratched area, applying firmly to ensure it gets into the grooves of the damage (especially with coloured T Cut). In many cases, the cloth changes colour as the top layer of paint is removed. Don’t worry, that is perfectly normal although it is not the case with metallic finishes as the lacquer on these is clear.

Most of the common incidents which can scratch your car, such as scraping along a low wall, kerb, brushing again another car or through an act vandalism (e.g. when cars are “keyed”) leave marks that are too deep for T-Cut to fix.

It should only be used to rectify light, shallow, surface scratches where T-Cut can be most effective. Keyed car scratches or deep scrapes from a wall or kerb can often be too deep, going all the way down to the basecoat or primer layers of the car paint, for a simple cutting compound to fix. Where this is the case, a stronger method of scratch removal may be needed, and we’ll talk more about this later. How Does T-Cut Work? We then wash where each set of scratches are with car shampoo and warm water, either until the scratches reappear or a maximum of five times.
