Title: T-Cut v. Brasso
Post by: Auto Addict on 26 July 2006, 12:15:45

I always really clean my car once a year with Brasso.

Method :-

Bucket of hot water.

Cheesecloth.

Brasso.

Soak the cheescloth in the hot water, and apply Brasso to cloth.

Working on a small area a a time, gently clean that area, rinsing out the cloth regularly, and apply more Brasso.

I keep the cloth fairly wet.

Polish off.

Car comes up like new!

Apply car polish and finish.

Any thoughts.

Brasso is cheaper than T-Cut.

Well TCut is very slightly abrasive, whereas Brasso is more abrasive.....therefore i guess if your very careful and gentle i see no reason

Just dont go getting distracted.....or you might yourself polishing the bare metal  ;D

Kinda reminds me of a m8 that used to clean the front of his company van with a brillo pad!!
Paintwork was a bit dull.....but not a dead fly in sight  ::)

That's why I use a wet cloth. Done it for years, never seemed to do any harm.

Easier to polish off afterwards than T-Cut.

There was a thread a while ago...somewhere...about silver cars-love em or hate em. This is where they come into their own. A quick wash and they look like new.

Even truer of white cars......white doesn't show up body work blemishes and is dead easy to touch up...


.....looks dam mucky quick though

I used to work in bicycle trade - we used tipex on white bikes, good match and dried instantly...
