Did you let the wax dry before waxing off?
Was the wax evenly appiled?
Is the polishiong cloth clean (no grit on it)?
Have you a brain?? (joking  )

if its normal t-cut - it aint a polish - its a cutting (hense the name) thing. Normal t-cut needs a coat of polish after it

Most good polishs have a slight amount of "tcut" in it

is your car black wai_sxi? how old is it?
T-cut is more of a paint restorer than a polish/wax. its too abrasive I think esp on black paint!
your best using a good wax to make it shine!

if u used tcut on a laquered car there isnt much u can do about it. laquered cars shouldnt need it anyway. polish does have cutting agent in yes, but it is nowhere near as abreasive as tcut.

I T-cutted mine and had the same problem ages ago. When I bought my car it was all faded cos the lad who had it before me was a lazy dirty arse! Polish it afterwards, did the trick on mine, I used Mer and it brought it right up.

I T-cut my whole corsa when i had it.
Coz it was white, and pretty dull even when washed, the T - cut brought it up like brand new.
However, if u done it on a metallic car then........oh well.

I hope you realise that Auto Glym Paint renovator is a similar product to T-Cut, and it IS NOT a polish, if you use paint renovator you have to polish over the top of it.
Zymol is the best polish around IMO

if u applied the t-cut wi a very dry/not very wet cloth then its a bi-atch to remove!!!
get a good wet cloth and really rub at it then let it dry and buff it off wi good polishin cloth, might have to do it a few times dependin how caked on it is!!
then get the auto gly out an polish the life outta it!!
it shud come up ok! i did me astra before i sold it in august there, had the same prob, came up well for a 93 red car which usually fades like mad!!
