scottsoulby Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Finally got round to giving the car a proper clean to protect it through the winter months, got up nice and early and braved the elements... bloody freezing... and started by washing the car ( 2 bucket method ) followed by a metalic t-cut, after this i used the 3 stage meguires, 1st - paint cleaner 2nd - polish 3rd - carnauba wax also used the megs alloy wheel cleaner and the megs tyre black, also used this on the wing mirrors and the window wipers. I then used megs window cleaner to get the marks off the windows, and soon to be followed, a bit of rain-x I think it looks good now, but ive got football later then so this clean will not last long a few piccies: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 followed by a metalic t-cut Please tell me you didnt do that all over?! Just for a few scratches perhaps? T-Cut is massively aggresive and will take your laquer off in no time, especially on a Nissan Looks good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take a layer of laquer off and if used regularly will wear through to the colour coat Did a bit of googling and everyone says its abrasive. Dont know if its as bad as normal T-Cut, but it certainly does 'cut'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used what I think is the same metalic T-cut on mine to remove some finer scratches befoer I got my Poorboys SSR and its at least as abrasive as SSR2/2.5 from what I've seen. When I next get into the garage I'll have a look what the stuff is I have. Just warning you as Nissan paint is :censored: poor and thin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
