Polishing. ..

[emjaybee]

I'm getting my old (57 plate) Transit van ready for sale and I'm after some advice.

It's white, surprise surprise, but as with all white vans, it has gone a bit yellowy lower down.

I know that this will go back to white with a bit of T-cut, but my question is this...

...Can you apply T-cut with an electric polishing mop?

:nenau

Yes, you can. But you need to be careful or you'll polish right through the paint. Find the softest mop you can, and don't press too hard :thumb2

A paint restorer for light colour paints should do the trick

Play safe - hand job !

I would stick to doing it by hand it's much safer, far too easy with a mop to cut down to metal especially near corners and on surface creases.

I used a blend of Polish that contained T cut on a dull red car and it came back like new just needs a bit of old fashioned elbow grease.

That's easy for you to say!

It's a long wheel base, high roof transit!

Mop all the way but keep in wet :thumb2
A cheapo compound will be fine, mixes better with water to keep it wet

What big bunny says,I picked up a tetrosyl one from our local car body place which you don't need to use water with.it doesn't cut as much as the old compounds but works well with a polishing mop.
It's called VM compound.
