D-A Coarse High Performance Cutting Compound
Dual-action cutting compoundAdvanced DIY

- Heavy swirl correction
- Oxidation and sanding-mark refinement
- A test spot shows finishing polish is too mild
Compatible surfaces
- Cured glossy automotive paint
- Clear coat with adequate thickness
- RUPES-compatible foam or wool polishing systems
Avoid or verify first
- Thin paint and sharp edges
- Dry buffing or overloaded pads
- Assuming every paint system needs maximum cut
How to use D-A Coarse High Performance Cutting 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.
