As above please I know it has already been T-CUT once as it was shiny white when i bought it 2 or 3 months ago but now the shadowing of the old sign writing is coming through 

Now I will definately be T-CUTing it again immmediately before I get it signwritten, but im having to wait a little while as my man is really busy. so....

Can I t cut it now and then again if needed or will i be hitting metal? 

Also was it a case of it not being done properly, or will it always come back? OR if i cut deep enough can i cut this shadowing out for good?

p.s. When I say T-CUT I mean 25p a bottle cream cleaner! Stick that in your super scrimping pipe Mrs Moneypenny!

mmm not sure because the new lettering probs wont stick aswell! i would wait until the van has been sign written

proper Tcut is cheap enough Dan .  use a mutton cloth to take it off and don't put it on in direct sunlight or itll bake on .

I saw a man using an electric buffer last week on the bootlid of an silver  MX5 last week,in the sunlight . asking for trub that is

T cutting it again will be no problem, I have got a random orbital polisher and it amazing how long you can buff a panel with out it going through the paint. Also there will be no problem with new sign writing sticking to it, after all, how is sign writing stuck to brand new vans

Cream cleaner really does work just as good Bobby! used it loads of times over the years!

I know what you mean about sunlight, also worth mentioning is if anyone uses a solvent cleaner to take off sticky residue of sign writing (works a treat) then you MUST wash the van quickly afterwards otherwise the dirty run off dries on and you will need to use the solvent again to loosen it.

I was thinking £20 from Halfords or argos! probably fleabay 

[PoleKing]

I got one off fleabay to buff out a few scratches.
Cost me £16 delivered.
It's not exactly the daddy of polishers but it did the trick.
Only came with 2 buffing pads though.

Hi Dan

Each time you teecut you take a thin layer of paint off. PSA is known for using very little top coat.

The trouble with a previously lettered van is the the paint under the vinyl is still new as it has been protected from the elements, where the paint not covered has been damaged by the elements.

The best you can do is make sure all the sticky adhesive and any ridges from the old lettering has been removed. Once the new signage has been put on nobody, except you, will notice it.

I have a 13 year old Suzuki Carry that was owned for the 1st four years of its life by a painter. 9 years later and 2 teecuts, I can still see his name and details in the right light and angle, but its hardly visible. It hasn't be re sign written.

Save your money and put it toward your new signage.
