I've been working on a PINK Astra to bring it up to its former RED colour. T Cut is doing the job marvelously, but it seems to leave white marks at the edges of the swirls. Is there any way to get this off because buffing doesnt seem to do it.

Cheers!

Try cleaning it off with water etc after its been buffed up and dried.

Or same thing but use clay bar

Use some finer compound on a machine.

And it wasn't hugely successful - patchwork Corsa ftw!

Anyway, make sure the applicator and buffer for the t-cut is clean and free of grit. I didn't have any swirl marks (probably see some close up) on my car roof, so you must be doing something wrong.
