T-cut?

The Falco could do with a good clean and polish, which it may get tomorrow if I finish work early enough before riding back to the parents for xmas.

There are quite a few light scratches in the paintwork which normally I'd use a bit of T-cut or similar on, but the metallic paint (the fast (red) one) on the Falco seems a bit delicate and I don't want to ruin it!

Has anyone tried it? And was a respray required afterwards?

I seem to remember that with modern paint finishes that are finished in clearcoat, T-cut is not meant to be a good thing to use

You can use something called faraclay, they start from G3 which is very fine up to G7 which is very course.
They do one for metalics too if memory serves.
All body shops use this stuff for buffing and polishing and it can be bought from all paint suppliers.

G3 is the mutts nuts - VERY effective

You need the smallest blob of the stuff and keep buffing until all traces are gone. 3 small blobs did the whole of my Mazda's bonnet and the results are fantastic
