Griot's Garage
Complete Compound
A manageable correction entry point for oxidation and moderate defects, but it still removes paint and requires a test section.
The chemistry
Abrasive particles level the clear-coat surface around scratches and oxidation, making remaining texture reflect light more evenly.
Use it when
- Moderate swirls
- Oxidation
- Defects that remain after cleaning and decontamination
Compatible surfaces
- Cured glossy paint
- Clear coat
- Compatible single-stage paint
Avoid or verify first
- Matte finishes
- Scratches through the color layer
- Working dirty or overheated paint
How to use Complete Compound safely
- 1Wash, chemically decontaminate and measure or assess the finish before using an abrasive.
- 2Test the least aggressive pad-and-product combination on a small area and make controlled passes.
- 3Remove residue with clean microfiber, inspect under direct light and stop once the target improvement is reached.
