Morning everyone,

A quick bit of advice if possible. I recently t-cut a light scratch out of some deep black mirrorish like paintwork. Scratch is almost gone - more than acceptable, however the area I worked on has a 'slight' light hazing. I have used wax over the area for now, but the hazing is still visible from some angles.

Should I aim to gently polish with something finer than the t-cut scratch remover I used? Any other sage words of advice.

Thanks in anticipation.

You may have 'struck through' the clearcoat, or it could be an unrefined finish. So either more polishing required or far too much has taken place. If you state vehicle type, age, originality of paint and whether a metallic finish, I may be able to give more advice. A pic may also help.

if you struk through the clearcoat then you would have the colour on your cloth.

more tahn likely you rubbed too hard and need to polish the hazes out a bit better.

Have you tried using SRP over it to see if it dissapears, SRP has loads of fillers so is good at masking hazes.

Sounds like you need a finer polish to bring the gloss out, unless you've rubbed through the clear coat.

T-Cut is pretty abrasive generally so you will need to refine. Some cutting polishes are dinishing abrasives and so will break down during the polishing stage with the correct amount of work and heat generated to do so, some others are not.

If you have a scratch and lovely shiney paint, hitting it with an abrasive will usually leave some hazing from the abrasives in the polish. Get a refining polish like Menzerna SF4000 for e.g and don't be afaid to really work it to get it into it's correct operating window, this will remove the fine maring left by the compound.
