You got it detailed and they used T-cut??
It's absolutely terrible stuff, far too abrasive and yes it'll leave scratches.
Who on earth calls them self a detailer with that in their arsenal lol? I'd rather use a house brick.
It'll now need machine polishing with a 3 stage system then some glaze, wax then sealant.

If the paint looks like it's come off you'll need it resprayed.

I believe they used T-cut and how hard will it be to polish it? should I post some pictures to show the damage?

what would be cheaper getting it sprayed or replacing the wing?
Prickle

Cheaper for a wing tbh and Silver being a twat to match too.
I'd go for a new wing

Why don't you take it back to the place you had it detailed? They should sort it out if they caused it.
Why did you get a 1.1 Saxo detailed?
Saxo166
24th June 2014, 14:47
Didn't get a receipt and because it was a mess inside and out due to moving house I couldn't do it and I searched on the motor hog website but apparently it only has a black VTR wing

Doesn't matter if you didn't get a receipt! If someone scraped paint off your wing in a car park you'd expect them to pay - but you've paid someone for a service which they fucked up!
Why should you have to pay more to recitfy it?

I'm gonna have a drive down there now to see what they say but I doubt they'll do anything
Prickle
24th June 2014, 14:50
No reciept no proof really.

Saxo166
24th June 2014, 15:06
Anyone know where I could get a new wing unless I buy I new one but then have to find somewhere to get the right paint

I've been on the motorhog website, they have a few silver as is in 1.1 to VT's. Email them and see what they have. They'll transport any part from any of their yards to the North Shields yard to collect.

Go back to them and explain what you have here. T cut shouldn't ever be used with detailing, I know a detailed very well and he's very good and in is products box there is not one car plan product! He only swears by Autobrite, farelca iirc, only liquid compounds! Mainz car products no cheap tcut shit! Tcut is what the old guys use and personally it's useless!

Main reason why I would never give my car to someone I don't know to clean / detail it.
For a detailing company to say that there's no proof they detailed your car tell's you all you need to know about that company.
