vac_basher Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Hi people My car need's polishingI want to get some renumbering done but can't get in touch with my paint/weathing man. Therefore was thinking of having a go at it myself.I hear T Cut is good for removing factory numbers. However I don't have any at hand, so was thinking of using Autoglym. Would that be ok, or would it leave some kind of residue? Or would it maybe even be too powerful and take the paint underneath away too?Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
