Title: Got a bottle of t cut and some more jobs to do...
Post by: Webby the Bear on 13 June 2016, 21:23:34

Hi guys. So as per posts before I used t cut to mend some scratches caused by mummy bear. Worked really nice. Will try and get photos up in a bit.

I have been meaning to restore my headlights for bloody ages.

To save buying an actual kit can I use my t cut? Damp cloth, circular motion etc? Then we have some sealer left over from a quix kit.

What do we think. Headlights are not horrendous by any stretch but have started to go yellow. Offside worse

The only reason to buy a kit is if you don't already have something similar.


T-cut is pretty mild so it will take longer, but it will do the job.

Thanks ladies.

Can I speed things up by rubbing the t cut in with a drill and cloth on the end?

On a headlight? Just get on with it.


Some masking tape on the bumper and wing edge is a good idea.

Might be better starting with something a bit harsher, I seem to recall yours were reasonably cloudy...
