Classic Audi - View Single Post - Detailing the new '84 80, do I need to T-Cut?

personally I wouldn't do any cutting unless it was absolutely neccessary. I found that claying did a great job in bringing the paintwork up. It could be the flatness is down to ingrained dirt built up over the years.

I would go through the steps you outlined as a first pass. Then if you weren't happy then consider if a cutting his neccessary. Of course without seeing the paintwork up close and personal it's always going to be difficult to make a recomendation, even against photo's.
