The T in Tcut stands for “ Tetrosyl Cutting Oil ”. How T-Cut works What is the car scratch remover good for? The first thing to remember when “T-Cutting” a car is to ensure the paint is completely clean and dry, otherwise, you run the risk of damaging the paintwork when you start polishing it down. Cleaning the surface of your car is incredibly easy and can be done by either running the entire car through a car wash, or thoroughly cleaning and drying the car by hand. This process can be applied to a small area of a car, such as a wheel arch, or it can be applied to much larger surface areas. If the latter is the case, then tcut will need to be applied all over, one panel at a time, and will requires several containers of tcut to ensure you have enough of the compound. If, for instance, you want to restore an old paint job all over a car, the process is the same as with a smaller area, but it is a more laborious job. Every panel will need to be treated, one panel at a time, to ensure an even application. The maintenance afterwards will also be more intensive, since the car will regularly need to be waxed all over. T-Cut After Care To build up, apply several coats leaving half an hour between each coat. Leave to dry and cure for 24 hours, polish any excess product off using T-Cut Original Restorer. Do not push the nib end into paintwork as this may lead to further scratches. There are, without a doubt, a few places where tcut can be a useful tool for car owners. Where T Cut can be used on all types of car paintwork, no matter the type or colour of the car, it is more versatile than just being restricted to automotive vehicles. T Cut, as a compound, can also be used on caravans, boats and even around the home to help remove scratches. Furthermore, as well as a car scratch remover, T-Cut is used by some as a cleaning process to help restore vehicle paint. Similar to when you polish car scratches with a coloured car polish, T-Cut helps remove minor imperfections from the surface of your car.

Grab a clean cloth or pad We used a fresh microfibre cloth for each of the car scratch removers we tested. Some kits come with a foam applicator pad or you can buy these yourself separately. While not essential, they do make application easier. Polish the whole body Once you've finished and the scratch is invisible, you might notice the area you worked on has a slightly different finish to the rest of the car. It could be shinier, dull or just have a bit of haze across it. At this point, we recommend you give your car some TLC and polish the whole body. Does a car polisher do a better job at removing car scratches?T-Cut is a type of car scratch remover, that is also known as a rubbing or cutting compound.

‘Proper’ car paint pens

As with any kind of car body repair, the only way that you’ll get a ‘good-as-new’ result is with a professional repair. But, car paint pens are becoming more available on the market. If you’ve only got a very light scratch on your paintwork you may be tempted to give them a go. Here, we explain what these car paint pens are, how they work and the kinds of results you might expect. Where tcut is not suitable, however, is with deeper scratches where it is far less successful, or even places where the car has been dented as well as scraped. It should only be used to rectify light, shallow, surface scratches where T-Cut can be most effective. Keyed car scratches or deep scrapes from a wall or kerb can often be too deep, going all the way down to the basecoat or primer layers of the car paint, for a simple cutting compound to fix. Where this is the case, a stronger method of scratch removal may be needed, and we’ll talk more about this later. How Does T-Cut Work?

How T-Cut works

Ultimately, using T-Cut will restore shine initially, but the paint will always fade (due to it being a paint restoration compound and not paint) and the best way to give an old car a new lease of colour life would be a new paint job. This can prove expensive. When not to use T Cut Deeper Scratches In fact, ChipsAway repairs all come with a lifetime guarantee, all for less hassle and cost than going to a body shop or garage.
