Having brought a faded red vauxhall for my son i knew i was in for a hard slog weekend with the T-Cut! As this was such a good price I purchased it to hopefully make the job a little easier. It arrived extremely quickly from Amazon, usual great service. Was given a great tip from a bodyshop friend to wash the car and leave it wet when starting to polish. I used a fine compound polish (T-Cut just as good)making sure the panel I polished was very wet. The machine glided well and after about 2-3 minutes of polishing per panel the result was brilliant. The whole car took about 2 hours, some manual polishing needed where the machine wont reach, then another couple of hours to wax the car and clean up. The car looks like new! Very pleased. Will need to buy new polishing bonnets as the ones supplied are the worse for wear after.
Couple of tips. The polisher vibrates quite a lot but dont apply to much pressure to try and compensate, let it do the work (the pins and needles in your hands soon goes!!!). The polish, especially used wet, gets everywhere, so be prepared to clean up inside door shuts, bonnet etc, but small price to pay for the hours saved. Cover any black trims the polisher may come into contact with with masking tape to stop them going white.
