i was wandering, how could i remove any minor scratches on the paint work. is there anything i can buy in the shop. lexus dealer says he would buff th4e car for £50 but i would rather do it myself

the scratches are minor. i wasnt going to use belfast lexus as they are a bloody rip off. i might try t-cut metallic restorer. the colour of my gs300 is red.

I just chose some turtle wax 'safe-cut' over the T-cut. It's an abrasive paste, which manages to get quite deep scratches out. comes in a yellow and red tube. Worth a try.

I'm always worried about T-Cut and that ilk. Can they not do more damage to the paintwork, and leave other blemishes and marks? I have 3 or 4 little scratches on mine that aren't too deep, and I'd like to get rid of them, too. I'm not bought T-Cut because, the last time I used it (years ago) it left a nasty patch all over the wing. What's the secret to using it?

What color should I use for Granite Sky?

Black or Silver?

[color=Blue]I'd be tempted to try the black (closer to Granite Sky)[/color]

Scarey!!:wow:

be carefull with metallic paint.. I put a blemish in my paintwork with T-cut.. but managed to get it out in the end by t-cutting a wider area... as chris suggested.

The zymol the area in long strokes instead of circular... worked a treat

I find that with colour Tcut it is just covering up ols scratched so they do not show and after a few washes the same scratches are apparent.

I want to get hold of some normal cutting compound the professionals use... not T-Cut cutting compound for dummies

I had a light to medium key down a side rear door. Tried to: Wash with autoglym shampoo, dry completly, then T Cut Metallic (quite a bit around the line, but only around it), polish off, then autoglym super resin polish, then polish off...... looked ever ever so slightly better, then a week later.... mark was looking just the same.... basically, the T-Cut did jack shi*.

i have loads of scratches on mine due to seagulls( must tell them to trim thier toe nails:D) the best product i have found is turtle wax scratch and swirl remover, by hand for a small scratch takes about 2 mins, for larger areas i use a buffing machine - did whole bonnet in 10 mins and now its gleaming :cool:
