The consumer compound that made paint correction a driveway job. Diminishing micro-abrasives cut hard enough to remove moderate swirls, oxidation and water-spot etching, then break down to finish without hazing on clear coat. Works by hand for spot repairs and on a DA polisher for whole panels, which is why it's the first compound most people ever buy.
