Collection: Compounds & Polishes

Compounds and polishes remove a thin layer of clear coat to level out what is scratched into it. Heavier cutting liquids take out sanding marks and deeper defects, finishing polishes clear the haze the cutting step leaves, and a glaze or all in one sits between the two when the paint only needs a light pass.

The range here is mostly the numbered 3D line, from extra cut compound through rubbing compound, correction glaze, one step polish and finishing polish, alongside P&S liquids, in 8 oz, quart, gallon and pail sizes. Pair them with pads, polishers and tools, do the decontamination and clay step before you cut, and seal the work in with wax, sealants and coatings.

See the Wash Bay hub for where this fits, or start with washing a car at home without swirls.
