T-Cut Rapid Scratch Remover, 500 ml

Product Information

Most of the common incidents which can scratch your car, such as scraping along a low wall, kerb, brushing again another car or through an act vandalism (e.g. when cars are “keyed”) leave marks that are too deep for T-Cut to fix. When using T-Cut, safety should be your priority. Always ensure you’re in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves to protect your skin. Common Mistakes to Avoid Once the scratch has gone, you need to take another clean cloth and remove the excess product. Again, this can be done with circular motions, and will ensure a buffed up finish. Not to mention, through buffing any excess tcut away, you remove any potential damage from unnecessary drips.

Have you ever walked past your car and done a double-take because you’ve just noticed a scratch? And then you frantically rub over it, hoping it’s just a dirt smudge, but it remains. The T in Tcut stands for “ Tetrosyl Cutting Oil ”. How T-Cut works What is the car scratch remover good for? T-Cut Colour Fast – Removes scratches, scuffs and blemishes whilst adding colour. Suitable for red, white, blue or silver car paint. If You Are Inexperienced With Repairs: You need some idea of what you are doing, as a simple mistake like using the wrong type of cloth, or using one that had accidentally fallen to the ground, can cause more harm than good. Furthermore, knowing when to stop rubbing the T-Cut on the scratch is essential, as overdoing it after the scratch is removed, could result in you revealing the metal beneath the paint. T-Cut Metallic –Designed specifically to restore the colour and lustre of metallic and pearlescent car paintwork.The way this works is that the products have a mild abrasive inside, which sands down the scratch to match the rest of the layer around it. It also means these scratch removers can help restore your paint’s shine that is lost over years exposed to the elements.

Step 1: An important action to ensure you carry out, is to thoroughly clean and dry the area of paint you are applying the T-Cut to, or else it could potentially damage the paintwork. Provided you haven’t removed the colour, however, the products on this list are budget-friendly enough to try before you bring in the costly professionals. Is it worth fixing scratches on my car? Protect your hands with rubber gloves Many of these products contain strong chemicals that can be an irritant to bare skin. If any of the car scratch remover does get on your bare skin, wash it off with soap and rigorous scrubbing. Avoidable errors can hinder the effectiveness of T-Cut or even result in additional damage to the paintwork. One common mistake is applying T-Cut on unsuitable surfaces, such as matte finishes or non-metallic paintwork, leading to discoloration or accidental damage. Another error is impatience, where the product isn’t given sufficient time to penetrate the scratches before it’s buffed off. Know Your Surface

Concentrate your efforts on a single tiny area at a time (eg 1 sq ft) Working in a circular motion, apply the product to the surface

We tested the following products by applying the solutions to certain sections of a car bonnet sourced from a scrapyard. The bonnet featured small swirls and scuffs - some of which we added ourselves prior to testing - and, with each product, we tested to see whether a limited amount of wiping could improve the appearance of these imperfections. Verdict T-Cut Polish – Removes surface oxidation, minor scratches and blemishes, whilst providing a shiny finish to your paintwork. Although Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound product is a polish rather than specifically a scratch remover, it did a great job on our scratches, swirls and blemishes. We had quite a noticeable tree branch scratch but the Ultimate Compound has all but completely removed it. On smaller or medium scratches, it also works very well. It’s in the middle in terms of price, so is great value for money. It’s also a great polish: it goes on easily, can be buffed to a lovely finish, and lasted a few weeks. Versatile and useful for more than one thing, it’s an excellent product.

Instructions for Using T-Cut on Your Car’s Paint

Regardless of what type of car paintwork you have, T-cut can be used. For some additional uses, it is suitable for our boats, caravans and around the housework. How To Use T-Cut Correctly

The best car scratch remover for you entirely depends on what kind of scratch you’re dealing with. Scratches can be deep, cutting through the primer and into the metalwork. Some take the colour, while other more shallow scratches affect just the clear lacquer layers.From T-Cut Rapid Scratch Remover for light scratches to T-Cut Metallic Colour Restorer for metallic paintwork, the selection is abundant. Choose the one that matches your specific vehicle needs. Safety First It’s virtually impossible to avoid your car getting scratched during its life. No matter how careful you are there’s always a risk that someone will walk too close to it or that even dirt could scratch the paintwork. We also apply a medium and deep scratch to each section to see if the car scratch removers make a difference to these. However, most of the products we test don't claim to remove these types of scratches. Washing after scratches are gone Where tcut is not suitable, however, is with deeper scratches where it is far less successful, or even places where the car has been dented as well as scraped. It should only be used to rectify light, shallow, surface scratches where T-Cut can be most effective. Keyed car scratches or deep scrapes from a wall or kerb can often be too deep, going all the way down to the basecoat or primer layers of the car paint, for a simple cutting compound to fix. Where this is the case, a stronger method of scratch removal may be needed, and we’ll talk more about this later. How Does T-Cut Work?
