All I can say that I have used Tcut for many years to dom the following:

Remove scratches

Remove grime on white cars

Remove tar spots.

I have not experienced any problems. My current Audi A6 which I have had from new is almost 8 years old and has coverred 145K miles and its paintwork is exceptional. Speaking to Body shops, they look down on Tcut as being a product thats not strong enough.

I appear to be the only person on this forum that has used T cut. Nobody so far has said that they have used it and had problems. In any event, I guess evryone has their opinion whether it be from experience or just hearsay!

I've used t-cut and as DanGull has said, it never gave me the results I wanted. If you've not used anything else, it's okay. It's always the first thing most people do tend to use really, as it's the one everyone knows about.

But for grime and tar, tar remover or WD40 works better and is far less aggressive. A clay bar will pick up anything too tough to lift with the former.

If any body shop you are going to regards T-Cut as a product they would use, that's a body shop I would personally prefer to avoid. A body shop ought to have much better tools and products at their disposal.

If you read my post I did say that body shops "look down" on T Cut. That's a negative remark.

I will of course try out the WD40, a claybar and that dodo Juice (!Removed! exxpensive), and no doubt I am sure I will find them great. Its just that I still have some T Cut purchased years ago.

Sure, but if the bodyshop thinks it's not strong enough, I wouldn't like my paintwork going near them!

What's the shelf-life for T-Cut? There should be one of those symbols on it to indicate, unless it's so old they didn't exist yet. I only mention, because I've found that when I used T-Cut years ago on my Fiesta, the bottle my father had that was only a year old, went 'off' as such - it went lumpy and no amount of shaking could sort the separation of chemicals out. Not to mention how long do they sit on the shelf at Halfords :P

Just remember with tar remover or WD40 - clean clean clean afterwards!! Must stress that one a lot. People tend to use a dedicated tar remover, but WD40 works just fine as well, but residue may be a little harder to clear, what with it being a water displacer.

I found that a kitchen scourer worked fine with cleaning the car after i used WD40.....

The Way Im going to be washing my new car (no point starting with the Saxo :D)

Is

#Washing using two bucket method

# Dry (semi dry, needs abit of water for the clay)

# Clay (If required)

# Dry again fully

# Autoglym SRP

# Then Wax

Is this right or no?

After I've waxed it, I'll only need to Wash and dry it from time to time. Is that correct?

(Why T-Cut is Bad) - Link to Saxp forum thread

Don't use water as a clay lube - it needs far more lubrication than that. Dry the car completely and then invest in some Dodo Born to be Slippy.

The only other stage you may want to consider adding is a snow foam/prewash stage.

If you've used a good quality wax, then it could last anything between 3 and 6 months. In that time, you only need to wash and dry - but perhaps also top of your protection with a product such as Dodo Red Mist or Duragloss Aquawax.

Oh Dan, Dodo Juice would be most unimpressed with one of their big fans getting the product wrong! I'm almost a little disappointed, as i'm sure you will be too when you realise your mistake. I no how much yoo luv spelin mystaks.

No date on the bottle nor on any other product I have. The T cut is only a few years old and was given to me by Carplan when I complained about their malfunctioning aerosol can of Tyre Silk. (don't tell me these punture the tyres)

Anyway, today was the day that I was going to polish my Audi and I decided to use an old can of WD40 on the tar spots and I can now say that its better than TCut in doing the job. Much easier to use. incidently I never at any time stated that tCut was a great product, its just that I have not experienced any negative effects after using it over many years.

I am using Megrais NXT Tech Wax. I am more interested in longer protection rather than deep gloss. Any ideas on its replacement. Pitty I didn't wash the car after applying WD40. Still, I supopoese there is always next week.

A decent carnauba based wax should last an age if applied properly ;)
