GTiBEER:
Hey everyone I have made a mistake that a school boy would make so I'm looking for some advice (not abuse) to get my car back to black.

I have always been told to use Tcut on the bodywork to take the top layer off and bring out the shine. So when I got my lovely GTi the first thing I did was wash every inch o her and give her the Tcut treatment.

Now she looks like she has been driven through a wire brush factory backwards and it's all my fault!

In the shade she looks super nice but when the sun is reflecting off her metallic skin she has these circular brush marks all over her.

I have always fancied getting one of those electric buffing things and investing in some decent wax.

Can some one please tell me how to remedy this and tell me what a ....... I am.

Thanks

It might be worth employing one of the pro's there are a couple of them that frequent here.

Sounds bad.........

TBH I would get it detailed by a pro by the time you spend £200 on a polisher and buy the right tools to do the job you will spend the same money and not get as good a finish.

on the other hand have a look on detailing world there are loads of good threads on polishing.

I have a megs g220 if you near the north east your more than welcome to use it

GTiBEER:
What price should I expect to pay for a half decent detailer ?

you've probably just put loads of marring into the paintwork. 

By hand your best bet is to spend a good amount of time working a small section at a time with dodo lime prime.  It does a fantastic job of removing marring and light swirls.  If you have access to a machine, run it on speed 5 on a finishing pad until clear, 1 panel at a time, should only take 45 mins to go round the car, results will look rather good.

I have loads of compounding polishes but for a quick fix, this is a great product and my favourite of all my detailing collection :happy2:
