agree with gman, g3 and polisher is the best way.

Would also depend how far gone it is. saw one recently where someone had tried it and the lacquer went a whiteish colour after a week (was a very faded bonnet though)

As the others said, G3 all the way. But dont have too much of a shock when you see the price compared to T-Cut!!

You tried Mer on a buffer ? I think it's about £15 for half a litre but worth every penny. It's a lot like T-cut more pulls up a brilliant finish which lasts and can be done by hand or with a mop/buffer. Another little trick we used to used on old motors was Jif cream cleaner used to take all the dead paint of and leave a brilliant finish.

Also try a very very fine polish with 1600 wet and dry with a little fairy liquid in water followed by a good quality wax, only ever done this with flat paint and not metalic.
