Light Cut Compound

Description

Car-Chem Light Cut Compound is the final stage of our 3 stages of cutting compound.

Developed in-house by our technical department. Our Light Cut Compound is formulated with diminishing abrasive chemistry. This means the abrasive particles get smaller the more they are worked into the paintwork. This effectively means the cutting power of the compound reduces whilst you’re using it, offering a more even and gradual application. Our light cut compound also contains the highest grade of fillers and kaolin clays to refine and cleanse your vehicle’s paintwork.

Car-Chem Light Cut Compound is designed as the final stage of polishing. You can then complete your clean using one of our waxes or sealants.

How To Use (Hand Application):

1. Apply 2-5 pea sized amounts of compound to a clean, lint-free microfibre or a foam applicator pad.
2. Using light pressure;  spread the compound onto the vehicles paintwork, working in small areas (50cm x 50cm) using an up/down and left/right lattice pattern for optimal coverage.
3. Allow the compound to dry to a haze.
4. Buff off with a clean, lint-free microfibre to leave a glossy finish.

How To Use (Machine Application):

1. Apply 2-5 pea sized amounts of compound to a light foam polishing pad.
2. Using light pressure and the lowest speed setting;  spread the compound onto the vehicles paintwork.
3. Work in small areas (50cm x 50cm) using an overlapping up/down and left/right lattice pattern for optimal coverage.
4. Increase the speed setting to a maximum of 1000RPM and continue to work the compound into the paintwork until the polish becomes clear.
5. Allow the compound to dry to a haze.
6. Buff off using a foam finishing pad to leave a superb finish.

Top Tip:

Ensure you are working out of direct sunlight whenever you are using a polishing compound, and check that your vehicle is cool to the touch prior to application.
