NO, t cut is primitive(full of bad chemicals) use g3 and then if you have a lot of swirl marks use g10 and then a good quality wax(auto glym) and hey presto shiney car back
Not seen G3/G10 before. Are these 'off the shelf' products or trade only?

they apply water onto the body as they do it cos if u rub too hard the paint will heat up and come off….just to warn u cos paint on mk1s is very thin…
im sure u can do it urself though,

Sorry to get picky but Autoglym is a polish not a wax.alexh said

If you are dont mind spending some money try putting some Swissol or Zymol wax on the car …you will notice the difference 8O

Farcella G3 great . But meant for professional use with the correct cutting mop on your machine , small areas say a minor blow in respray yes but a complete car by hand …..
T-CUT is or should i say was ! So good in fact that the chemicals [ammonia {smelly nappy} and more] have now been removed due to legislation , same story with garden pesticides . G3 and the like are cutting compounds -they remove a small layer of paint-so do it once and keep it polished or waxed to retain its original shine . I have seen cars T-Cutted so much that the original primer has started to show through .

skid auto glym do a wax but you cant buy it in your local halfords or motor factors. trade only as it only comes in 5 litre cans and it aint cheap but good it is
Zymol will give a magnificent finish and as it is water based it is less damaging to fragile paint work. The problem is it is very time consuming.
There are too many online users to list.
