MediumCut Compound
Engineered benefits
The workhorse step
Moderate swirls, wash marring and oxidation gone in a single pass.
Refines heavy cut
Clears HVY Cut haze and steps the panel toward final gloss.
Wide pad latitude
Consistent on polishing foams across rotary and DA.
High clarity finish
On many clears it finishes LSP-ready without a third step.
Long open time
Buttery worktime for full bonnets without flashing dry.
Clean wipe-off
Low-residue carrier saves towels and inspection time.
Application protocol
Assess the defect
If HVY ran first, confirm the haze profile; otherwise test-spot.
Polishing pad
Medium foam, primed; two to three beads per section.
Crosshatch passes
Rotary at 1250 RPM with moderate pressure, finishing lighter.
Inspect for LSP
Wipe, light-check; jump to MirrorGlaze only if micro-haze remains.
Technical data
Field questions
Yes, on mid-hardness clears with typical swirling it cuts and finishes well enough for most retail expectations; show-car finishes still warrant MirrorGlaze after.
No, P1500 marks need HVY first. MediumCut refines the compound haze, not sanding scratches.
Rotary at 1250 RPM with moderate pressure. By hand, work circular or back-and-forth motions with firm pressure on the defects.
None of consequence, what you see after an IPA wipe is the true correction level.
