So, my little sax has been sat around for over 9months.. just got her back on the road after spending an absolute fortune.. (42quid lol)

Its black and to be fair after a wash looked in mint condition, but obviously once dry i started noticing abit of oxidation (flatness in paint/dull spots)
So i popped down to local shitfords and grabbed some t-cut/cloths etc.

With the sun shining no sight of rain i decided to crack on and give her a nice polish up.. after 5 minutes i regretted it.. stuck with it.. half hour later.. still on same spot..

Ive cleared all the oxidation that i can see but it took a fuck load of pressure and killed my arms, but when trying to remove the t-cut i just get what can only be discribed as blemishes.

Would it be easier to just grab a buffer, pay someone to do it, or is there any type of colour restorer thats alot less hassel but gives great results?

Ive ended up just grabbing loads of washing up liquid and washing the t-cut off becasue it looks worse then it did when i started.. :wall:

You will need a Machine Polish Correction fully remove the swirls bud.

You can grab some AutoGlym Super Resin Polish from Halfords which will do a million miles better job than T-Cut, but it's swirl filling properties don't last that long.

Do you have any money spare to spend on some detailing products ?

Love you man, totally forgot about meguires... used to use it on boats when i worked buffing them etc.. good shit..

Was planning on just hitting it with a buffer to get the oxidation out of her since theres alot to take out and doing it manually will take forever.

Shame i dont have the cash laying about or id get her recoated.

Im all spent out at the moment, just had to get her back on the road after being sat in the drive for 9months, all be it things that needed done wasnt big things but it all adds up, aswell as having two boys and driving 150miles a day with fuel prices the old wallet is feeling it abit.

I done abit of spraying/body work, boat repairs etc in the past so if i can get hold of the equipment for a day or two it shouldnt take long to get sorted
