+1 about T-Cut, utter rubbish! If you can run to £30, get yourself a pot of Dodo Juice Supernatural hybrid wax, its wonderful stuff, easy to use & lasts for ages, so perfect over the winter months too:)

Is that the same for the t-cut metallic, because thats suposed to have a finer cut that the standard t-cut.

I Auto Glym super resin polish any good, thats supposed to have quite a fine cut isn't it.

AG SRP is a really popular product, id go as far as saying probably one of the most sold products out there, who doesnt have a bottle of this stuff? even i do now, and i dont like autoglym  :smiley:

as for t-cut, from what i gather, the cutting agent in it basically consists of metal particals that arent as fine as what they should be, its old skool science for our grandads, technology in car cleaning certainly has come along way with some amazing products out there that would put our grandads montego to shame, old skool product for old skool paintwork  :laugh:

AG SRP is a very fine cut with fillers i believe?

clay and lube (quick detailer) under 25
autoglym srp or finish kare 215 all in one for polish, under 15 quid a bottle
finish kare 1000p/ colonite for lsp 20-25 quid a tin that will last forever

thats what i'd spend my pennies on

I use the autogylm super resin polish on my 3 metallic blue cars. (1 dark, 1 medium, 1 light blue).
Then the autogym extra gloss protection sealer. (seems to work better for me with the filler of SRP than jetseal 109 did)
Then collinite 476s wax.
To get rid of the water marks try the autogylm paint renovator it did not work for a couple of the marks on mine so i had to use the meguires scratch X.
For between waxes after washing i have started to use Meguires ultimate quik detailer as it seems to just throw the water back off if it rains on it.
Im not a big fan of halfords but there 3 for 2 on car care products did come in handy.
