Hello,

Being the perfectionist that i am, i have some micro scratches on the swing arm of my carbon frame... and would like to get them out.

They're superficial, and only a very very shallow depth.

Would t-cut get them out? would it be safe?

Cheers

Ricks

t-cut will nmost likely get them out, but isnt the best product to use, mainly down to it not breaking down during use, if you have access to any trade polishing compound (motor trade) then that will be spot on, anything like Farecla, 3M etc.on a medium/fine compound will get it out quickly without dulling the rest of the clear coat,
hope that helps

Car polish would be a good starting point if that doesnt help perhaps then some car scratch remover (nothing too agressive) may well do it.

You're going to be a busy man!

So long as you're certain it's only in the cosmetic top layer then it should be fine with t-cut or similar but I personally would just leave as is...

Bikes are for riding and get scratched in use, don't waste your time.

But as above T cut would do it.

Muc-Off do a polish which works extremely well on carbon, Miracle Shine or something sounds familiar.
