Sorry to be dumb but whats a porter cable?

 

[jen]

lol its a polisher for cars which gets rid of all swirl marks in the paint but can only find it from america heres a video there a few more as well if you have a look. its really good to get paint work in a good condition

ive got one of these, got mines from the local car shop.

I see, unfortunatly due to it's abrasive nature this is no good for metalic cars!According to the bottle of T-Cut that i've got!

 

[aztec daz]

you dont use T-Cut with them, theres special paint treatments you use with them. but i just use mine for wax and polish.

and what car shop did you get it from??

 

[aztec daz]

a place called autocruisers. the sell all kinds of stuff. wasnt that expensive.

HEH I didn't say you use t-cut with it! What i meant was to get scratches and minor imperfections off you have to remove a small layer of paint. Metallic cars are laquered, this laquer is only a few microns thick. So each time you do it you loose some laquer, eventually leaving none!
