If your buying, buy some g3 cutting compound and a good polish like auto gym srp

T cut is too harsh tbh the g3 compound is much better and restoring paint
Can I get that in halfords?

I just spotted a colour coded scuttle. So suspect rattle canned in the past. On the vin plate what is the paint code?
