FAQs

What is T-Cut Original used for?

T-Cut Original is used for cleaning and restoring the original color and lustre to painted surfaces. It effectively removes oxidation, surface scratches, ingrained road grime, tar spots, and baked-on insects.

Can T-Cut Original be used on all car paint types?

It is safe for use on all standard paintwork. However, it should NOT be used on matt or special effect paintwork.

How much product should I use per area?

We recommend working on small areas at a time, approximately 1 square foot (about 30x30 cm), to ensure the product can be buffed off before it dries.

What should I do after using T-Cut Original?

After buffing off the excess T-Cut Original, it is recommended to apply a protective product like T-Cut Ceramic Wax or T-Cut Final Glaze to protect the paint finish and enhance the shine.

Can I use T-Cut Original on glass or plastic parts?

No, T-Cut Original should not be used on glass, vinyl, or unpainted plastic bumpers and car trims.

What are the ideal conditions for using T-Cut Original?

It is best to use T-Cut Original in moderate temperatures, avoiding hot conditions or direct sunlight. Ensure the surface is also cool to the touch.

Does T-Cut Original contain silicone?

No, T-Cut Original does not contain silicone and leaves no harmful residues.

How deep of a scratch can T-Cut Original fix?

T-Cut Original is designed for surface scratches. A scratch is considered surface if you cannot feel any obstruction when passing a fingernail over it. Deeper scratches may see an improvement in appearance but will not be fully removed.

Troubleshooting

Product leaves streaks or a hazy finish.

This usually occurs if the product is allowed to dry on the surface before buffing. Ensure you are working in small sections and buffing off the excess product immediately with a clean, dry cloth before it dries. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or hot conditions.

Product is not removing scratches effectively.

T-Cut Original is designed for surface scratches only. A surface scratch is defined as one where you cannot feel any obstruction when passing a fingernail over it. If your fingernail catches on the scratch, it is too deep for this product to fully remove, though it may improve its appearance.

White residue left on black plastic trim.

T-Cut Original should not be used on unpainted plastic trim. Carefully clean the affected area with a suitable plastic cleaner or mild degreaser. For future applications, ensure the product is kept away from all plastic parts.

Paintwork appears duller after application.

This is unlikely if used correctly. Ensure you have buffed off all excess product. The dullness might be temporary if not enough product was used or buffed correctly. For best results, follow up with a protective wax or glaze.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the surface to be treated is clean and dry. Shake the T-Cut Original bottle well before use. Application: Use two quality microfibre cloths – one damp and one dry. Dampen the first cloth lightly with T-Cut Original. Apply the product to the surface in a circular motion, working on an area of about 1 square foot at a time. Buffing: Immediately buff off any excess product with the dry cloth before it has a chance to dry. Post-Application: For optimal protection and shine, follow up with a T-Cut Ceramic Wax or T-Cut Final Glaze.

Compatibility: T-Cut Original is safe for use on all standard automotive paintwork, as well as painted surfaces found in the home, caravans, bikes, boats, and for metal polishing and antique restoration. Important Exclusions: Do NOT use on matt or special effect paintwork, glass, vinyl, or unpainted plastic bumpers and trims. Avoid application on unsound or freshly painted surfaces. Care: Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Dispose of used cloths responsibly after each application.

Testing: Always test T-Cut Original on an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and desired results.
