Im a bodgy sh!te really..

Said the person that called me a bodgey shite. pot. kettle. frying pans. whatever.

cant spell it but amonia(i think) ie horible stuff,may aswell pee on yr paint,never understood why people liked it,just buy proper cutting compound like farclea g3,ten times better

T-cut is half the price and gives the same results. I've used cutting compound but prefer T-cut.

Never noticed that the wheels are a different style to mine, is it cos your truck is newer?

Yep, it's a 2001 model.

How easy were the wheels?

What was the prep?

Did you take the tyres off, or just mask?

Just removed the wheel, scrubbed/hosed it clean, sanded down the corrosion, blew then off with an air-line, masked the tyres off then sprayed the wheel using a cheapie air-brush.

Nice job Vince!! bottled out of the red then? totally different set up to the 2nd gens init,
also dont like Tcut, a right bugger to rub off

No red on this truck, the theme is black/silver/chrome. T-cut shouldn't be used on hot panels or in direct sunlight. If it dries too quickly it can be washed off easily enough.

Really? Can't say as I'd ever noted.

C'mon then! get some 1st gen pics up for us all to judge!!

£4k for an engine?!

But you can get a lexus V8 and gearbox.. WITH a car for £500ish!


I wouldn't care if it was just a land rover chassis an body sat on toyota running gear! I'd like to avoid doing all that because its expensive but still..

sorry i disagree tcut gets nowhere near the same results,although i do use a machine mop

I used T-cut (the old type) with my polisher (set to the slowest speed)with a white sponge yesterday, buffed it off by hand then applied some black Turtle wax gloop. The paint finish is now as reflective as the windows.

Photos to follow.
