only do a small area at a time and take it off as soon as it starts to cure, plus you would be better off using finesse on a black car. hope this helps

as above, its slightly less abrasive, t-cut can sometimes do more damage than good, especially on black cars, i use finesse on my car (black escort gti) and then a coating of wax/polish to seal it back up

yeah thats it, you only need to use a small amount, where t-cut is like a paste, finesse is quite runny
