Afraid i am a little to far away from you, or i would have sorted it for you. Do yourself a favour mate steer clear of the car washes

 

[voorhees]

I'm local to you but am unsure of the term 'a tcut polish service'

 

[t3zza36]

yes it is a harsh lesson learned will only wash myself from now on

 

[Nilz]

Not sure what you mean by a 'tcut polish', but there are a few people locally that will be able to give your car a good detail.

 

[t3zza36]

wot i mean is i need to get rid of these light swirl scratches i know nothing about paintwork so mayb t-cut not needed

 

[dan1973]

You need a paint correction mate sure somebody will be along soon to offer you there services

 

[t3zza36]

ok thnx for replies, i go away to florida tonight so work will have to be early in new year.
cheers

I'm sure I could offer some services but to be honest it would be worth looking out for a detailer near by who can sort it for you.

I'd hate to balls it up on someone elses car.

 

[t3zza36]

thanx

depending how light the scratches, you will want something like 3m ultrafina using a waffle head on a polisher.

this kind of polish will remove swirls and very fine scratches

 

[t3zza36]

yes but i am not confident in doing this myself, so ideally would like to find someone offering this service.

 

[S3 Rav]

as above, jimmeh is that man for the job and he's local.

 

[nickaliath]

if you were more local i would do it for you, im in somerset

Do not use t-cut it's just as bad as a car wash!it kills your paintwork!buy some hood stuff from www.nedetailing.co.uk and they will sort your problem for you bud
