Infinity Wax Heavy Cut Compound with Diminishing Abrasives is a professional-grade solution design...Infinity Wax Heavy Cut Compound with Diminishing Abrasives is a professional-grade solution designed for automotive paint correction. It effectively removes severe paint defects such as sanding marks, scratches, oxidation, and swirl marks. Formulated with a water-based suspension of aluminium oxide, this compound offers strong initial cutting power. As the compound breaks down during the polishing process, it refines the finish to minimize holograms and hazing, providing both effective correction and surface preparation.
Infinity Wax Heavy Cutting Compound is designed for professional detailers and automotive enthusiasts who need a reliable solution for aggressive paint correction. Its primary benefit lies in its diminishing abrasive technology, which provides a high initial cut to remove severe defects while refining the surface as you work, though it requires a careful post-correction polishing step to achieve a show-car gloss.

FAQs
Can this compound be used by hand?
While it is designed primarily for machine use, it can be used by hand for spot repairs with a firm foam applicator, though results will be less efficient.
Does it contain silicone or fillers?
No, it is designed for true paint correction rather than temporary filling.
Do I need to wash the car after using this?
A thorough wipe-down with an IPA solution or a wash is recommended to remove residue before applying wax or sealant.
Is it safe for ceramic coated cars?
This is a heavy cutting compound that will strip off existing waxes or coatings. Only use it if you intend to re-apply a protective layer afterward.
What pad type is best?
Microfiber cutting pads or firm foam pads provide the best balance of cut and finish for this compound.
Troubleshooting
Excessive dusting during polishing
Reduce the amount of product used per section and ensure you are not over-working the compound once the abrasives have fully broken down.
Compound is difficult to wipe off
You may be using too much product; try using a smaller amount and ensure the surface is cool to the touch before starting.
Hazing remains after use
This is normal for heavy compounds; follow up with a light finishing polish and a soft finishing pad to restore full gloss.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: Compatible with all standard automotive clear coats and single-stage paints. Use with rotary or dual-action polishers.
Setup: Ensure the vehicle surface is thoroughly washed and decontaminated using a clay bar before application to prevent debris from causing deeper scratches.
Care: Always store the bottle in a cool, shaded environment. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent evaporation of the water-based suspension. If the product dries out on the pad, mist the pad with a small amount of distilled water or pad primer to reactivate the abrasives.
