None, both shit. Get either Meguires Gold Class polish or Zymol polish. both about £10.

I used t cut colour fast yesterday and was very impressed, apparently its tougher to take off the dry haze than meg and other ones but elbow grease nvr done a car any harm.

I bought some meguiars gold class polish last week, and im well impressed with it. My car now looks red again!
I've been using auto glym for 4 years now, and i now think that meguiars is much better, even though the gold class wax is £12.99, but its well worth it, and you get a little applicator pad in the box too

Its not really a good idea to use T-cut on mettallic finishes as its designed to take a very small layer of paint off, to bring up the colour.

The best products are Meguires Gold Class, Autoglym Super Resin Polish, and Sonax polishes and waxes.

serious!!!

i never polish it through winter or cold weather, otherwise about once every month or so anyway, so it cant be that bad can it!

i think i mite try "meguires gold class polish" even though it is expensive! jus seen it and it says its really good, how long does the shine last??

Yeah, that's how TCut works.
It takes off a very fine layer, revealing the non-faded paint underneath and "restoring" the colour.
I still use it tho', can't be bothered to go and get some better stuff.
