need help!!!
I let some kids wash and wax my car as they were raising money for red nose day. i left them my bucket with all my cleaning chemicals and went inside and to watch the football. when i went back outside to see how they were doing, i noticed that they were struggling, i then realised that they had used half a tub of t-cut instead of the wax. it had dried up and bedded in!!! ive tried jet wash it off and ive cleaned it twice since but its seems like im just spreading it around more!!!!
can someone help me get this $"£% off please!!!!!!

Not sure here m8 but i would try a paint cleaner or maybe the clay bar or the option is major elbow grease. Sry.
Just had another thought............... Have you got any quick detailer ? spray a mf cloth with it then try buffing it off, i have a product here thats a pig to get off but if this method is used its a breeze,this might soften the t-cut
Hope this helps.

More T-cut. It's probably the only thing that will shift it. Do the whole car then give it a good wax and learn from your BIG mistake.

i think im gonna get it jet washed again and see how it looks from there. ive removed alot of it now but i think some is still on there. im not sure if its wise to put more t-cut on just in case it beds in with the old layer!!

Tcut is mainly clay (abrasive) in a petroleum distillate cream (to cleanse, dissolve and lubricate). What's left on your car is the clay and it needs to be resolulised to remove it. Try a small area first, but water will not bring it off easily, and the more aggressively you attempt the more damage you may do.

I would try foaming the car repeatedly with a decent foam product like Meguiars Hyper Wash; by applying foam the emulsifiers and lubricants will have enough time to start to soften the residue. After around 20-30 mins of soaking I would then power wash, and I would expect to see all of the residue then coming off. This method could be beefed up to using a stronger APC if needs be, and has the major bonus of not requiring any rubbing to remove the residue, which as rightly pointed out above, could cause more harm than good. If you don't have a foam gun then your options are limited, but hot washing with lots of shampoo, two buckets and a couple of wash mitts might do the job if used with care.
