Default T cut on new paint.

I have a 2012 black car and have quite a few light scratches all over the car.
Im thinking of buying some black turtle wax (like T cut) with a lipstick filler thing.

I always thought these were only good on old cars where the paint has oxadised but should it be ok?

Is it that "colour magic" stuff ? Itll look great for a couple off days then back to the way it was. All it does is filles the swirls with black polish but once it comes out u are back to square 1. Same with the touch up thing , only good for a show day "quick fix".

Actual T-Cut on a black car is a nightmare to get off. Maybe try Poorboys Blackhole folloved with a wax.

Get a professional to machine polish it and be done.

A definite NO!

T cut is for stone age people as are chamois leathers!

If you go to 'car care' on Forum Jump & look at the Polished bliss posts by Rich, check the 1st one out for your colour.

I found these very comprehensive & helpful & bought some recommended products from them & found them to be on the money, although there is no way you are gonna get the kind of finish these guys can produce drool drool! but you will be happy with what you produce if you put in some hard graft.
