About this item
Product details
The first step of a truly professional gelcoat finish, our Perfect-it Gelcoat Heavy Cutting Compound is our fastest-cutting compound for heavily-oxidized gelcoat surfaces. Its premium chemical and mineral formula quickly removes heavy oxidation, weathering, dulling, chalking and scratches P800 or finer. This formula leaves a high gloss finish. On many surfaces, a polishing step is not necessary before waxing. The compound also has a long wet time, allowing you to compound longer before you need new material. You use less product even in warmer climates, yet it handles well and does not clog on the buffing pad.

Very happy with this. It polishes gelcoat very well, easy to use with a variable speed buffer. I followed with the Perfect-It light cutting / wax.
