Have to love your enthusiasm for it.  Just brilliant! 

[Erebus]

can't find anything that doesn't work!!!

paintwork has polished up lovely

[maxxo]

oh and this is how it starts

[High Jetter]

It’s got loads of the scratches out and really brought a shine to the paint so I’m happy!

It's not the shine you want it's the depth of the shine and removal of said scratches! 

Does become its whole separate little money pit though so maybe stick to the tcut...
