Hi all!

My motor is filthy so if the weathers good tomorrow I'm going to give the beast a good wash and polish. I'm gona use T-Cut but was wondering if it's going to stain the stripes if I'm not carefull Anyone had any problems using T-Cut.

I've got a Performance Blue ST with white stripes - she's called Holly! Lol.

Cheers

Is it a cutting coumpound or a coloured wax/polish?

I use red polish on my car and it it gets on the stripes you can wipe it off before it dries or even if it dries on, it will come off with washing up liquid

you should only use t cut if the body work is dead,if the bodywork is not dead i would use a non cutting compound

I used to t cut on all the bodywork and stripes, but don't use the clay on it otherwise the colour will fade

I use Triplewax on mine, seems to give it a deep shine and works ok, what do you guys consider to be 'the best' polish/wax to go for?
