Paint Restorer

Post by Capt Sisko »

When I were a lad all we had was T-Cut to restore our faded paint.
You were lucky, we had to lick . . . . .

So, given that 'paint' isn't paint as we used to know it and science has probably reinvented T-Cut a dozen times since I indeed was a lad, what are the current favorites for restoring modern paintwork to it's former glory (2018 R1250RT)?

Just bought a bottle of the above and it's pretty good stuff. It's not tough enough to buff out proper scratches but as a general revovator for bringing a shine of paint that's just looking a bit weathered it does what it says on the tin. Autoglim say it's not an 'all over' polish and for cars but for our bikes with their small panels I guess that doesn't matter. To my mind it did a good job.
