3D ONE Hybrid Compound and Polish, Gallon

3D ONE is a hybrid cutting compound and finishing polish, and this is the gallon for a shop that runs it every week. It carries nano ceramic alumina abrasives that correct paint scratches with either a dual action or a high speed rotary polisher, and the trick of it is that one bottle covers both ends of the job: on a cutting pad it removes heavy scratches, on a finishing pad it delivers a high gloss finish. That is one product on the shelf where most benches keep two.

3D says it is easy to use, easy to clean up, and leaves the finish consistent every time. It works best in a shaded area, though 3D notes it is also sun friendly if the panel you are on has moved into the light. At 1 gallon, decant into a labeled bottle at the bench and keep the jug on the shelf rather than carrying it around the car.

Sold through Shopify Collective and shipped to you directly by Pal Automotive in Piscataway, New Jersey, usually within one business day, with its own tracking. Not made or shipped by Sniff and Shift. Not eligible for our free local delivery. There is more about this supplier on our Meet Pal Automotive page, and the rest of the range sits in compounds and polishes.

A shop dog needs a job of her own while the polisher runs, and freeze dried treats are the version of that which does not involve the pads.
