Farecla G7

[johnnywgk]

Hi, a friend gave me some of this to use on my car. I done a test patch,
and put lid back on the paste, not to be used by me again. nothing in search about G7.

This stuff seems to have the abrasive qualities of a house brick.

What is this stuff used for. I'm think maybe inbetween paint coat preperation.

Cheers, exellent info on here, my car has started to look pretty good.

According to most places I've googled G7 is:

"Very Coarse fast cutting paste compound for use by hand on cellulose and fibreglass. Contains ammonia."

"For use with: Mutton Cloth - for application Finishing Cloth - for buffing off For use on: Cellulose paint only Contains ammonia - not suitable for modern paint systems Removes: Abrasive paper marks from cellulose paint only"

Probably not suitable for a modern paint finish, perhaps G10 would be more suitable, or a 'polish' rather than a cutting compound as you can remove alot of paint with the compounds and cause scratches.

G7,like t-cut contains ammonia and therefore should only be used on cellulose finishes

G7 suitable uses

cleaning old plastic garden furniture

Cheers for all the replies, celulose is mentioned a lot, so i can imagine
a nice thick coat of paint, with deep scratches, this would be ideal, then
work to a finer abrasive.

Hehe old plastic garden furniture, i like it.

Anyway, just spent the last two days t-cutting my car, it,s an old tvr 1988
don't know if it's celulose, will it be ok, ammonia an all that. It looks nice
but will i wake up one day and all my paint will be on the floor.
