You need to rub it down with wet 2000 grit wet and dry to get a totally smooth finsih, and tehn polish with a sponge buffing wheeel on a sander etc witha cutting compound like G3, and then polish it, for the shine

wioll be dull looking, yeah weta nd dry it till its smooth as anything, just takes out any imperfections, use lots of water, i suggest a spray bottle and just keep spraying water on, gonna take alot of t-cut, its a very mild abrasive

only reason metallic t-cut is different is becasue the ammonia in normal t-cut reacts with some types of laqure, the acrylic laqure for halfords should be fine with it
