T-Cut versus nano scratch removal

[didds]

Our 2010 T5 has some scratches on it. Just surface stuff albeit a gew of them a "little" deeper but not down to the metal. Typically from hedgerows and the like - rather than walls and fences or car park "occurrences" etc.

We've recently used T-Cut and car polish to overcome them for aesthetic reasons. The missus is convinced it worked - but I'm not really. It removed only the very very lightest scratches and the heavier ones are still obvious.

I've come aware of something called nano scratch cleaners - applied like t-cut. spray/wipe it on, rub it in, leave a few minutes, wipe it off.

Does this nano stuff work - people's experiences? I'm rather loath to throw more money at something that isnt actually fixable.

Sorry don't know about the nano stuff.

Did you use the colour pigmented T-cut stuff? I find that reasonable for scratches.

If there isn't fading, I wouldn't use T Cut. Why would you thin your paint coat if you didn't need to?

Lateral-thinking alternative - try washing the van with a carnauba wax wash. It gets a high gloss and leaves a slightly soft surface smear of wax which is very forgiving. The only downside is that you need to clean your windows thoroughly afterwards, because the wax stays on the glass. Works for me.

A lot of vehicle paints finishes (especially the slightly metallic finishes) have a layer of clear lacquer as the top coat, so colour-pigmented T-Cut could perhaps not have quite the expected effect.

Not that I ever try to polish out minor scratches in the lacquer-finished silver paint on my own van
