Grateful for any advice on using T Cut to brighten up my paintwork ? The paintwork is in generally good nick with a couple of weeping rust spots around one of the headlights. I guess i should get this looked at first.
Are there any benefits wax-oiling the car or is this a waste of money[frame]

waxoil and dinitrol are both good products
t cut with water will brighten the paintwork and remove road grime and dirt and then a good canuba wax polish

YES to waxoyl - as much as you can! Yes to T cut - but don't put wax anywhere you plan to spray paint in the near future.

agreed!
I use Autoglym paint renovator now. Used to use T-cut, then as au says, protect the polished paint with Carnauba wax.

T cut removes the top layer of paint, so use sparingly or you will discover the red and grey undercoat and primer.

There's some waxing tips here:

I recommend a clay bar - it really helps to get a good shine to your paint work

Don't use waxoyle till your car is totally dry.
