My main tip is do not use T-cut
IMO its far too abrasive, and does a very poor job.
Something like this is farrrrr superior

Apply with m/f applicator pads and buff off with a m/f cloth.
To improve the finish even further clay it first to remove any contaminates.

The main benefit or the chemical guys gel is that it doesnt streak and leave crap all over your bumpers when it rains.
