OMG!!!!
Sorry to see such a disasterous result. Hope you manage to get it sorted quickly and without too many problems, keep us up to date with how you get on. I tried my kit out yesterday at Peterborough in similar weather to yours. The excess paint after 10 minutes was quite difficult to remove, a fair amount of pressure and rubbing was required to remove it sucessfully. The application of the paint and the removal of the excess is not as straightforward as the instructions would have you believe. Russ

Once I had smeared the paint over the road rash, It really looked bad, so I didn't wait for the two minutes before I removed it. The bonnet wasn't hot, because I had only driven it 20 yards from the garage. It looks like I had applied it too thick, but I honestly hit it with the removing liquid within the first minute of application - the amount of application surely shouldn't be a problem. What gets me though is the instructions say it can be left for up to two hours (after smearing it when applied) The weather was partly cloudy and it was 9am, so I don't think the bodywork could have been too hot either - it was only 5 minutes after I rinsed it off under the hose. I posted straight away to stop others using the wipe on with a rag method.

This is why I decided to use the wipe on method to attack the road rash - I was really shocked that it appeared to dry almost instantly using this method

I am being completely honest when I say I couldn't remove ANY of the paint from the bonnet after just 1 minute - almost as if the removing liquid had 'gone off'. The cloth I used with the removing liquid shows a tiny hint of colour in it, even though I used it for 15 minutes to try and removed the product. After smearing it on the road rash I felt uncomfortable and that is why I tried to remove it so quickly.

Any chance T-Cut would remove it?

Doubt it - looks too thick.
That'll probably need wet sanding first and then machine polishing with a cutting polish.
