Advice please

hi all, i've just noticed that small flecks of rust have appered on the bonnet and roof of my k10 . will it just be a case of t-cutting these out and applying a new coat of laqure?

cheers.

 

[superls]

i dont think that K10 are laqured? mine isnt

 

[Fordy]

t-cut, polish, then seal

 

[daveeeeee]

cheers, could i not give it a coat of laqure anyway to give it a nice gloss?

It might look a bit odd if the rest of the car isnt lacquered.

If you want to look really cool:
Get some stick-on carbon fibre effect vinyl, chavtastic man!!!

 

[daveeeeee]

lol, i ment giving the whole car a coat would it really be worth it?

 

[fraz_micra_88]

not worth it at all imo

 

[james betley]

metalic cars are lackerd i know mine is

 

[daveeeeee]

ok excuse me for being clueless but what should i use to 'seal'?

 

[neilos]

IMO I wouldn't use t-cut. T-cut is cr*p.

t-cut stays abbrasive during the entire process that your polishing, the more you polish, the more scratches you are gonna inflict on the paintwork.

Use something like Meguiars Scratch X. Starts off being abbrasive, but as you are rubbing it in, it breaks down, so therefore at the end of the process, your are in effect polishing.

go hardcore compounding, g3 with a rotary

 

[paul_k10_Lx]

if its rust showing throgh u will need to have it cutted all the way back treat the rust and resprayed or the problems will re occur

 

[daveeeeee]

no its only on the surface of the paint. lol hardcore compounding,g3 rotary. means nothing to me lol :laugh: were can i get the stuff needed to seal, halfords? as you've prob gaverd i no nothing about the paintwork side of cars.

As stated before, G3 is the best thing for cuttin'/polishing. Iv been using it for years on different things and is the best iv found. theres my 2cents worth.
