I'd promised my son I would improve the look of his van 100% with a little elbow grease and a lot of T-Cut.

First Tip: Buy T-Cut at Asda, I bought a bottle for just £3 tonight.

Second Tip: Use Micra cloths to apply it and take it off, I bought a packet of 6 for £2 also from Asda (not even realising what Micra cloths were, the Mrs said she uses them all the time around the house)

The results using the Micra cloths was unbelievable, no residue left if you use a clean Micra cloth to finish off the polishing.

When I was an Appentice in a Bodyshop many moons ago, the first jobs you were taught was how to make the tea, sweep up and T-Cut a car after paintwork.

The tecnique was always use a hard circular movement and be careful on the edges, you can turn a really flat bit of paintwork into a gleaming masterpiece with a couple of hours of hard graft.

My son is amazed at the results and he is buying the beer this weekend!

all agreed
 
in my opinion , anyone who wants to learn polishing must do it by hand at first.. directly using polishers by newbies calls real trouble..
 
and a problem, scratch resistent paints are really resistent to sanding with 1500 or 2000 grid .. and when you use 1200 , you cant polish it with machines,scratches you get cant be erased .. by hand is desperate
 
only solution is : it must be sanded when soft say after the second day of painting , if you were late (after it hardens properly) , my advice is dont try
