Hey, my dad had some of this in the garage and my paint work has alot of swirls and scratches so I thought i'd give it a blast. I read the back and it says it can damage the lacquer? Has anyone used this product? How did you apply it etc. :y:

Thanks for moving it :) My bad

tbh mate i wouldnt bother using it it wont get rid of scratches or swirls, your hand cant spin fast enought for it to do it, needs to be machine polished to get rid of them

t cut tends to just cover up scratches rather than get rid of them, and i very much doubt it will damage the laquer

try the meguiars 3 stage stuff, i know someone has used it on here and got some very decent results just being done by hand, still didnt get rid of them but looked ten times better

Tcut does damage the laquer, if you over use it. The person who i bought my car off had over used it on a scratch, takin the laquer and paint, so i've got a white scrub mark on my passenger door lol.

I've been waxing my car weekly to try and get rid of them. Maybe this would be a better product to use. I guess i'd just need some clarification it works. £20 is steep for a product that may not work!

you can get a think done called "mopping" but im not sure how much this costs, as been said its a machine polisher and does the job a treat :y:
