is T Cut still "a thing"?

I've got some scratches on the bonnet of my Santorini black D4. Is it worth trying to self rectify with a cutting agent or is there a better way of doing it? Last time I tried removing scratches was on a corsa in the mid nineties...

Meguiars Scratch X
Various other products available. As is T cut, but a bit abrasive nowadays for these soft paint finishes.

Farecla G3 fine finishing compound is good, whatever you use remember to polish the area afterwards.
Works well by hand or machine, has got rid of countless marks over the years.

Think all Corsa bonnets had scratches on - from the rivets in the jeans of local tarts..... Laughing

No, the scratches occurred when jeans were removed whilst sitting on the bonnet. Owners had balls for brains... Wink

As has been said, Meguiars or the Farecla stuff is very good indeed.
