Newish trick maybe?

Heard a rumour of mixing your polish and t-cut (50/50 mix) works a treat. I gave it a go on my mk3 golf and it worked awesome, i did use a buffer to finish it off. The swirl make are pretty much ZERO.
Obviously i/you wont use this all the time as youd hae no paint left by the new year.

I don't think I'll be trying that any time soon, I'm sure there are 'proper' products which do a far better job. Which polish did you mix the T cut with?

i'm not sure i'd recommend that myself... the problem with t-cut is that the polish doesn't degrade the more that you work it... so it will always be very aggressive
have you been left with any swirls or holograms?

i'd rather buy a newer polish that'll work better, probably struggling with the megs stuff as its non abrasive, try the paint cleaner next time before the polish
t-cut is old technology - i mean you wouldnt be happy if the dr broke out the leeches for a headache instead of dishing out :grin:some pills

as above, t-cut is old technology for old cars, just imagine what it could do to japanese paints :undecided
i can see the theory behind it, t-cut doesnt offer much of a glaze, and theres no abrasives in the megs, so 2+2...
