3D ONE Polish, 16 oz

3D ONE cuts like a compound and finishes like a fine cut polish, which is why one bottle can replace the two most people keep on the bench. The abrasive is 3D's alpha ceramic alumina technology, and there are no fillers in the formula, so what the paint looks like after wipe off is what the paint actually is rather than something hidden until the first wash. It is the answer to the least enjoyable stage of a full exterior detail.

You change the aggressiveness by changing the pad and the tool: a rotary with a twisted wool cutting pad for serious defects, an orbital with a foam cutting pad for less, and a soft foam finishing pad for show car gloss. 3D makes a point of the long buffing cycle, meaning the product will not dry up or go sticky while you are still working it. This is the 16 oz pint.

Correcting a single panel still eats an evening, so start it with freeze dried treats and a dog who has already been walked.
