Title: T-cut v Pan scourer
Post by: STMO123 on 10 September 2006, 18:37:11

I have just finished getting out the last of some rather nasty marks on my paintwork. When I viewed the car after buying it on ebay, it was a dull, damp evening and, with the car being silver, it looked fine.
However, on the very first sunny day I noticed quite a few 'scratch marks' behind both front and rear wheels.
When I enquired of the seller he said he had picked up some tar from a newly laid road and had removed it with a pan scourer and some washing up liquid! Please dont try this at home. It makes a right f*****g mess of the paintwork and is a pain to put right.
Luckily, all ended OK, T cut did the job. Eventually!  :(

EDIT: If you want to remove tar spots, use a drop of petrol(lighter fluid) and buff it up with a bit of wax immediately.
          After t-cutting make sure you give the area a good old waxing to put the protective layer back

Glad it came up all ok for you  :)

Mate of mine used to drive a white merc sprinter van.....his boss insisted the van was cleaned every week and did check that he did clean it.

My mate decided the best way to remove dead bugs from the front of van was using a pan scourer.....it always looked nice and bug free but the front of his van very quickly became dull looking  ;D
