I bought this and it all seems good but how do I use this and what to use compound wise, bearing in mind all I require is a bloody good finish at the end of the day.
I have some t-cut and a tin of "colinax ?"

Cheers Mart. :cool: :cool:

Practice on some scrap bodywork. There are various cutting compounds which are various grades. When initially starting out, have a spray water bottle, add the compound to the buffer, spray a good quantity of water and then work the area with the compound, Buff off with a good quality clean cloth.

Don't use anything like t-cut, 8O it has ammonia and is far too aggressive to use with a mop. you will burn the paint.

You need something gentler, without ammonia (you can tell from the smell) Farecla do most of what I have always used

And as said above practice first, gently does it and lots of water. not a job when it is cold as it goes everywhere
