It is universal in application, intended for use on clear coats, scratch-resistant coatings, ceramic clear coats, and optical plastics including headlights and taillights.

The formula is water-based, includes advanced lubricants for extended work time, and produces minimal dusting. The product comes in a 16-ounce bottle featuring a flip-top cap for controlled dispensing. Compatible with dual-action (DA) and rotary polishers; safe for hand application although machine usage gives best results. Free from fillers and oils, ensuring that visible results reflect actual paint correction.

Perfect for enthusiasts and professionals looking for a high-performance compounds without compromising paint safety.
