Title: Carbon Fibre tip
Post by: Andyp on August 15, 2004, 05:12:22 PM
Hey

I found a great product to use on Carbon Fibre that I thought i\'d share with you guys.. good for ya spoliers, bonnets etc.

Bascially my spolier started getting rain marks on it. No problem I thought. Scrub-a-dub-dub.. ooh it\'s all gone *5 mins later.. no it\'s back*

I couldn\'t get rid of this crap no matter what I used.. So this is what it looked like after a wash and polish

I popped down Halfrauds to look for some kind of tcut that wouldn\'t strip the first ten layers off and colour it. I found this little guy hiding away.. T-Cut wax.. not just for paint.. for most surfaces.. removes blemishs.. sounds good yah? :D

So after a good scrub and a few applications.. it all came off.. blinding stuff.. needed elbow greese but got there in the end!

Look how black it is now.. yom yom.. Think it was £5.99 :)

Squealy think it\'s sexual frustration hehe.

I also changed my body pins to make them shine too. As I say didn\'t stop there, I went and make the front door gleem as I polished up the handles and the knocker hehe

Gary, so long as you pick me up, bring me a cuppa and a biccy and then take me back.. sure! ;)
