should have said it for a t plate astra second car, run around, paint is starting to go the milky white way just wanting to tidy it up really, not looking for a stunning show car finish or anything like

Why are you thinking about T-Cut at all. Give the car a really good polish, having washed it, then add some protection to the paintwork, with a carnuba wax. Don't need to spend silly money and you can geta good result if you take a few minutes at each stage. Both Meguairs and Autoglym will provide reasonable products for an over the counter product or do some research on here for something more specific.

T-cut is ancient, there are far better modern colour restoring products on the market.

For budget use the Autoglym paint restorer should do the job. They suggest you try the Autoglym SRP first.

Unless you finish the job with some sort of protection to the paint, ie a wax, you'll end up doing the job again in a few months.
