Afternoon chaps and chapesses,

Does anyone know if T-Cut would be ok for use on Reflex paint? Or, what would you guys suggest I use to get small scratches out of the paintwork. I'm probably the only person who would ever notice them but they're there and doing my head in dammit!!!

Cheers!
Justin

Get some Meguiars Scratch X then normal polish ontop of that.
Less harsh than T Cut. Its a deminishing abrasive too.

Try and avoid using T-Cut. It contains ammonia which 'cuts' cellulose based paints by dissolving and removing a layer. On any other type of paint it can do exactly the opposite of what you want by leaving a very smooth but dull finish... which I did on a pair of aircraft wings painted with 2-pack. It then takes a lot of cutting with a machine to restore the gloss. IMHO the best is Farecla G3 cutting compound, usually sold in yellow 1ltr bottles by motor factors and car paint suppliers rather than halfrauds, A1 etc.
