Overspray
I'm sure I've read about this on here before but I've searched and can't find it. I've got a bit of overspray on the
rear arches. Can I use thinners or white spirit on them without making the car look rougher than it already is? I've tried T cut but its not
touching it.

use rubbing compound Farecla then t cut, thinners will burn into the paint on them, you could also use wet and dry p1000 and then t cut.

I would try rubbing compound if T Cut's not working for you.

Wet and dry worries me that it'll rub through the gel coat. I'm not familiar with Farecla rubbing compound? I've used a cutting type
of paste. Kind of whire with blue flecks, looks like washing powder mixed with bicarb and water. This'd be way to harsh though. Is thre a
difference between this and "rubbing" compound?

Rubbing compound is just like a thicker t cut, doesn't sound like the stuff you've used before.
This link shows the texture of the stuff a bit better

Cheers. Looks thinner and smoother than the stuff I've used. I'll give it a bash.

If you go like a bull at a gate of course you will go through the gel coat, even with t cut or rubbing compound. Go easy.

In my experience , cleaning fibreglass with thinners will do no damage at all - I use synthetic thinners at work to clean glue marks off paint (on
brand new vans) with no problems 
Its cuz I is blond , innit

2000 grit with lots of warm water will not go through the gelcoat, you could wipe your @rse with it

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I scraped my front bumper on the pebbledashing the other day and had to fill it to get the gouges, It needed painting and lacquering after as well 
It only took me an hour and it looks pretty much good as new now though. No way would rubbing compound have sorted it.
