It cuts down a layer of lacquer (Or if your car's old enough - a single stage paint/2k paint), it's an abrasive compound. It doesn't fill in anything. If you ever want to test it, get a machine polisher and hold it on the one spot with no water. About 3 seconds later, you'll be down to primer

While we're on the subject, is T-Cut really as sh1te as everybody says? I have nearly a full bottle to waste and used a bit of it over the weekend and found it fine for gettting rid of quite visible scratches.

It does the job but doesn't last long and the damage can be done with the original stuff, the colour magic or whatever it's called is fairly harmless but equally sh1t for longterm results. Grand stuff to lash on to a pink car you are selling on though, less than an hour and all done

I performed an Italian tuneup,well kind of.Let the engine sit at 4200-4500 rpms for a few mins on the motorway as it rarely ever sees more than 3000 rpms normally.

I've always found t cut to be pretty good for medium scratches but know nothing of the damage it can cause? Can someone explain? Can it damage the clear coat?

It's abrasive enough, you can get a very "impressive" amount of scratches with it.

.... ps is your bike white ?

Was outside the Harp bar yesterday evening and a chap cycled past on a white racer, for whatever reason I was wondering was it yourself, you must have posted pics of yourself on boards sometime.
