The_Judge_ Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Seppuku has been performed! However, since I've not had to use a hairdryer for over a decade I only got round to this job today after picking up my antique one from the folks at the weekend! I'm hoping like Trickster said a bit of t-polish will remove the last bit of "ghosting": M3NXN, Gaz and Rich_D 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kermitthefrog Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Mine has an M badge too, must have been a previous owner. But to be honest I think it looks smart. 330CD has been removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Judge_ Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 T-cut will work but you ll need to polish the area afterwards, T-Cut is a cutting compound hence removing the top layer, the polish is then needed to protect the paintwork Also you need the i badge to go on the end or 'd' thinking about purchasing this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-BMW-330d-boot-badge-3-series-9811-E46-E90-E91-E92-E93-1-year-guarantee-/260880790547 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How exactly does this polish you're talking about protect the paintwork after t-cut has removed this "top layer" you're on about?

Wash Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 T cut is not a polish, its a cutting compound (as far as I am lead to believe) The polish adds a layer of protection between the fresher paint and the elementsClearly have no idea what you're talking about. All polishes are compounds of some sort with differing levels of "cut" (meaning how much paint they will remove). I wouldn't advise anyone to use t-cut because it's very aggressive and you'll end up taking away more than what's needed, it's like slicing a loaf of bread with a chainsaw... Polish doesn't add any layer of protection, that's wax you're on about. I think any advice about detailing is best kept to yourself until you learn a little (lot) more about it.

das_flo Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 T-cut is ammonia based isn't it? Not cool for modern type paints really. Autoglym SRP should have enough balls to remove things like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wash Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 You do know the P in SRP stands for polish don't you.......LOL They're hardly going to call it SRG (super resin glaze) because most people don't know what a glaze is when it comes to detailing so that's why it's called super resin polish. SRP does have a very small amount of cut to it (very small) but ask anyone who knows a thing or two about detailing and they'll tell you SRP is a glaze. Might wanna get yourself onto detailingworld so you're not consistently talking b******s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
