T-Cut Scratch Magic Touch Up Pen

Product Information

As mentioned before, T-Cut is only really suitable for removing shallow, surface scratches from a car due to it working by removing the top layer of paint to restore a scratch.

We also apply a medium and deep scratch to each section to see if the car scratch removers make a difference to these. However, most of the products we test don't claim to remove these types of scratches. Washing after scratches are gone A small amount of T-Cut should be able to remove spray paint from your car paintwork. As with all applications, it needs to be applied very carefully to ensure that further damage is not attributed to the care whilst removing the spray paint. Which T-Cut to use? Well, in most cases the answer is yes, it is too good to be true. Of course, no-one could expect that a pen could act like an eraser to completely remove the scratch. These pens don’t contain any paint, but only have clear lacquer. Car paintwork has a layer of clear lacquer over the top of the paint, and it is this that magic pens aim to repair. The most honest answer is: with difficulty. Whether someone’s caught your car with their coat zipper, scratched it by squeezing by or you in their car, or whether you’ve had an altercation with a bollard, deep scratches are hard work. Once the scratch has gone, you need to take another clean cloth and remove the excess product. Again, this can be done with circular motions, and will ensure a buffed up finish. Not to mention, through buffing any excess tcut away, you remove any potential damage from unnecessary drips.Prepare for more than one application Even on shallow scratches we tested on, we found that many car scratch removers needed more than one application to get rid of the scratch. Most of the common incidents which can scratch your car, such as scraping along a low wall, kerb, brushing again another car or through an act vandalism (e.g. when cars are “keyed”) leave marks that are too deep for T-Cut to fix. Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned. It’s vital that all excess fluid is removed before finishing the job. If too much is left on, or the incorrect colour has been applied to scratches, it can be extremely difficult to remove. Applying T-Cut is a time-consuming process and requires additional care afterwards. If the application of T-Cut is rushed then it can lead to more expensive repairs later on down the line. Common Questions Is T-Cut safe? Where tcut is not suitable, however, is with deeper scratches where it is far less successful, or even places where the car has been dented as well as scraped. It should only be used to rectify light, shallow, surface scratches where T-Cut can be most effective. Keyed car scratches or deep scrapes from a wall or kerb can often be too deep, going all the way down to the basecoat or primer layers of the car paint, for a simple cutting compound to fix. Where this is the case, a stronger method of scratch removal may be needed, and we’ll talk more about this later. How Does T-Cut Work?

Each product has its own instructions, which are worth reading carefully before starting. Generally though, you need to wash your car, or at least the area of repair, thoroughly. You also need to ensure you’re applying car treatments in the shade. Whether it’s wax, polish or scratch remover, standing out in the midday sun will inhibit the product’s ability to function properly. Yes, T-Cut can be used to improve headlight clarity and light visibility by removing haziness from clear, plastic headlights. It can also be used on window and plastic glass to improve clarity and add shine. To do so though, ensure you buy the right version of T-Cut. Coloured versions will not help with restoring headlights, for obvious reasons. Can it remove excess lacquer? Or, if you have a deeper stone chip or scratch and want a temporary fix to prevent rusting, this product can be used to seal and protect it from further damage. ‘Proper’ car paint pensChipsAway specialists are experts in car scratch repair.
