Try to get 3M fine grade rubbing compound then after you've applied it by hand use a good quality polish.

I personally think the 3M compounds are better than T-Cut!

You can always email Tetrosyl (website http://www.tetrosyl.com) and ask for an MSDS (material data safety sheet) which must disclose all active chemical compounds. Since there's a rust remover in the stuff, I imagine that would be on the data sheet. You could then look for products with the same ingredients.

Or just add it to your wish list for Christmas.

Rushman -- you're naturally abrasive. Do 3M products work on you too?
