Contrary to my signature line........

It didn't just polish out

I tried the carplan colour magic T cut stuff on my truck on the scratches and scrapes picked up on the Kent lanes trip (I know I should've done it ages ago!) but its not made much difference.

What do you guys use?

Cheers

Eh!!

Not lazy at all.

Takes ages to get a good even coat of mud.

Takes ages to get a good even coat of mud.

Sounds about right.

Some people it seems have far too much time on their hands.

Cheers fellas


I was using mud and it worked just fine

Trouble is, I'm having trouble rejoining the shiney club, something in the rules about it and the whingeing from the Wife was getting more annoying than actually cleaning the thing

I'll give it a proper T cut then and see how it goes.

Jonny77, I can't believe there are forums for cleaning cars!!!
