Question

or more importantly the removal of such.

got spam chariot back last week after he had been in to a local sprayshop to have a bit of a tidy up. when he came back gleaming i was well chuffed, however closer inspection revealed that the areas of him not re-sprayed were covered in a light film of overspray in some areas quite badly, so he was sent back to have it removed, and whilst the worst localised areas are now ok the rest of him especially his roof and bonnet are still far from my idea of perfect. i would send him back again but i'm going to need him prety much solidly till after krimbo.

so what would you lot recomend i should use to reinstate the kind of finish that was already there? and please don't say t-cut as i feel it would be far too aggresive, being amonia based and all, for the size of the areas to be done.

t cut isnt that agressive or you could try the t cut mettalic which i think is a milder version. or you could try a good wax or hand glaze

gremlin, thank god you said t cut is to agressive, it is.

Safe cut is ok, i mix it 50 / 50 with polish.

However, there is a product call remover, that does this job. If the clay dont shift it, use this instead.

Good luck and i would ask the bloke if he has heard of masking paper?
