I'm seriously thinking of getting a DAS6 dual action polisher soon to do the TVR which is covered in light swirls. It's a really good beginner to intermediate polisher and you can buy kits with pads and polish for about 140 quid.

Are you sure, the gel-coat hasn't cracked, on your tvr

Right then lads. It's worked!!!!

Very pleased that when I went back over it with the t-cut and actually pressed firmly it got rid of all of them.

Thanks to all for the advice.  :y :y :y

No, the swirls are definitely in the clear coat.

I do have a small star crack in one of the doors, and some scratches which I've partly Chipex-ed.

If you're going to do the whole lot Webby I'd strongly suggest you beg/borrow/steal a buffing machine and get some better compound than T-cut.Doing it all by hand will be serious grief!

Chipexed some more this evening. I can never get the technique right. The second stage blending consistently pulls the paint out of the chip. Gah!
