T-Cut Scratch Magic Touch Up Pen

Product Information

If you've identified a shallow scratch on your car and want to use one of our recommended car scratch removers. Here's what you need to do. The T in Tcut stands for “ Tetrosyl Cutting Oil ”. How T-Cut works What is the car scratch remover good for? The car scratch remover is applied with a microfibre cloth following the manufacturer's instructions. 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 Although you may be able to improve the look of any damage with a paint pen, a DIY repair will not compare to a professional repair. Our fully trained ChipsAway specialists can help you get results. As they can keep the repair local to the damage, it can usually be done without the hassle and cost of a body shop.

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? 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.

T-Cut Scratch Magic Pen

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.

As with any kind of car body repair, the only way that you’ll get a ‘good-as-new’ result is with a professional repair. But, car paint pens are becoming more available on the market. If you’ve only got a very light scratch on your paintwork you may be tempted to give them a go. Here, we explain what these car paint pens are, how they work and the kinds of results you might expect. Next comes the application. Working in a circular motion, rub the solution over the scratched area, applying firmly to ensure it gets into the grooves of the damage (especially with coloured T Cut). In many cases, the cloth changes colour as the top layer of paint is removed. Don’t worry, that is perfectly normal although it is not the case with metallic finishes as the lacquer on these is clear. In fact, ChipsAway repairs all come with a lifetime guarantee, all for less hassle and cost than going to a body shop or garage. In fact, most body shops would repair a scratch by repainting the whole panel, whereas ChipsAway specialists only need to repair the small area affected – and you can keep your car for the day as ChipsAway come to you.

The time taken will depend on whether you repair by hand or use a machine. You don’t need to buy a specific car polishing machine. If you have a domestic drill, you can buy polishing attachments to help keep the costs of repair low. If you’re doing a manual repair, you’ll want to invest in some waffle applicator pads and a microfibre cloth. Ultimately, using T-Cut will restore shine initially, but the paint will always fade (due to it being a paint restoration compound and not paint) and the best way to give an old car a new lease of colour life would be a new paint job. This can prove expensive. When not to use T Cut Deeper Scratches We test the most popular car scratch removers that can be applied by hand. We buy all the products we test. 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.

T-Cut Scratch Magic helps disguise scratches and stone chips on all paint colours and finishes (including metallics). The unique formulation works by filling and disguising the scratch or stone chip whilst also protecting from harsh weather conditions, rusting and oxidation. The clear formula can be applied with the fine nib or the precision brush to allow for an accurate application on surface and deeper scratches. Watch the advanced UV inhibitors reflect the light away from the surface making the scratch appear invisible.

After each application, the scratches are examined to see what difference, if any, has been made. The fewer applications needed, the higher the car scratch remover scores. We tested the Halfords 110W Polisher on medium and deep scratches with three compatible car scratch removers.
