Thats bad...

Although on a funny note I had a friend who bought a new Porsche Cayenne. Went to a off road shop and bought that spray on mud stuff. Sprayed a few cans of it on the car and took it to his Porsche dealer the same day he bought and stated that he wanted his money back cos it was useless off road  :grin:

They almost wet there pants. But with your car I do feel sorry. At least its sparkly clean now  :cool:

so he paid like 50,000 for a cayenne and had it for a day and took it back  :huh: why didnt he just go on a test drive  :huh:


NO no no

You misunderstood. He still owns the car. He did it as a joke. Imagine you are a Porsche salesman. you sell a Cayenne and the guy brings it back in the afternoon covered in what looks like thick mud and says he took it off road and wants his money back cos its useless. I would wet my pants.

Oh ya. Note to self. PArt GTi far away when painting new fence

After the obligatory 10 minutes swearing at myself for being such a moron, I got the T Cut out


 :shocked:

Personally I would never use T Cut as it is far too abrasive, especially on a clear coat. Much better off, safer (and cheaper than a local valet) to use a Clay Bar and detailing spray to remove surface contaminants from paint :wink:

Cass/Nick:  I only used the T Cut on a tiny area at the bottom of a door to make sure the crap would come off. Thanks for the tip  re. using a clay bar and detailing spray, although hopefully I'll never have the same problem again!

Spent hours on mine the other weekend. Gave it a Clay and its sooooooo smoooooooooth now. Can't believe the difference. Then gave her a coat of wax and top coat sealer.  :cool: :cool: :cool:

Never tried a clay bar before. I would really recomend using one now.
