I've got to be honest I thought clay was just a silly fad of the "extreme valeters" but I gave in to curiosity & tried it & was very impressed, followed by a good going over with Super Resin Polish (less harsh than T-Cut) & then Extra Gloss Protection over the top & I'm sure anyone that's seen my car will agree it has a lovely deep shine

They do different jobs...

Claying removes bonded / surface contaminents prior to polishing the car , Tcut removes dead / oxidised paint so you could use both

I've always viewed T Cut as a last resort option. Have to agree with Paul here, Auto Glym EGP gives great results.

Anyone with a darker coloured car should really try an autoglym product called ultra deep shine.It is a very easy polish to use and gives a fantastic finish.Just apply,wait for it to dry,buff off with a cotton cloth and then a light buff with a high tech finishing cloth.My solar red zt looks wet when i have finished and the finish lasts.I have always used autoglym resin polish up to trying this but find the ultra deep shine gives a far better finish.no need for the extra gloss protection.I am pretty lucky in as much as i deal with the company who own autoglym so i get all their stuff direct through a very nice lady who works there at trade price.I also get a nice case containing resin polish,shampoo and a sponge given to me by the rep who comes to visit me every 6 month or so.arn't i lucky
