3D 510 Premium Compound, 8 oz

This is the small bottle of 3D 510 Premium Compound, the same cutting formula in a size that suits one panel rather than one car. It is the step that levels hard clear coats and removes sanding marks and other paint defects, using Alpha Ceramic Alumina abrasives that break down as they work. 3D calls it their fastest body shop cutting compound and lists it as fresh paint safe, silicone free and water based.

Eight fluid ounces is the size to buy when you have a scuffed door, a repainted bumper, or a stretch of oxidation you want to test on before committing to a full correction. It is also the honest size for a first try at machine polishing, since compound goes further than beginners expect and an unopened quart is money sitting on a shelf. 3D lists it as removing P1000 and finer sand scratches and as working on all paint finishes and colors, and notes it is low dusting with an easy wipe off. Follow it with a finishing polish on darker paint, where any haze left by a cutting step shows most.
