If its got to be by hand, I would move up a gear to this:



Its supposed to be like a hardcore SRP, but not as nasty as T-Cut. It'll be cheap and available in Halfords too.




tried t cut - WASTE of time  :lipsrsealed: :rolleyes:


got some of this stuff today  :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: instant pink cloth and a shiney wing  :cool: :cool:

will see how it looks in the light tomorrow, and then crack on with the  rear quarter and bonnet :afro:

T Cut is sh!t, I bought some and it's rubbish  :lipsrsealed:


I'll give the paint renovator a try and see if that helps the paint to shine even more?
