Product Information
Full details
T-Cut The Original Paint Colour Restorer is designed for vehicle owners and DIY enthusiasts looking to rejuvenate dull, faded, or oxidized paintwork on cars, boats, and caravans. By effectively stripping away ingrained road grime and light surface scratches, it restores the original depth of color and prepares surfaces for a fresh coat of wax. However, users must be aware that this formula is not compatible with metallic, pearlescent, or modern clear-coat paint finishes, making it essential to verify your vehicle's paint type before application.

FAQs
Can I use T-Cut on my metallic paintwork?
No, T-Cut The Original is formulated for solid paints only. It can damage metallic, pearlescent, or clear-coat finishes.
Do I need to wax after using T-Cut?
Yes, T-Cut removes the top layer of oxidized paint, leaving the surface exposed. Applying a wax or sealant afterward is highly recommended to protect the newly rejuvenated finish.
Is this product safe for glass?
No, do not apply this product to glass surfaces as it may cause smearing or hazing.
Can I use this on a motorbike?
Yes, it is suitable for painted motorbike tanks and frames, provided they have a solid paint finish.
Why should I avoid direct sunlight?
Direct sunlight and heat cause the solvents in the product to evaporate too quickly, which makes it difficult to buff off and can result in uneven finish.
Troubleshooting
Product is streaking during application
The surface is likely too hot or you are working on a section that is too large. Reduce the work area size and ensure the vehicle is in the shade.
Difficulty buffing off the residue
The product has dried too much. Use a slightly damp cloth to re-activate the residue before buffing again with a clean, dry cloth.
Product marked unpainted plastic trim
Wipe away any overspill immediately with a damp cloth; if staining persists, use a dedicated plastic trim cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, always test the product on an inconspicuous area of the vehicle to check for color fastness and compatibility. Never apply the product while the vehicle is in direct sunlight or if the bodywork is hot, as this can cause the formula to streak or dry prematurely. This product is strictly for solid paint colors and is not designed for modern metallic, pearlescent, or clear-coated finishes. Avoid contact with glass, rubber trim, vinyl roofs, and unpainted plastic bumpers, as it may cause staining or discoloration. Store the bottles in a cool, dry place and ensure lids are tightly closed when not in use.
