Product Information
Full details
The Farécla G3 Rubbing Compound is a professional-grade cutting paste designed for automotive enthusiasts and body shop professionals looking to restore paint clarity and remove surface imperfections. It excels at buffing out fine scratches and stubborn swirl marks to achieve a high-gloss, permanent finish, though users should be mindful that its abrasive nature requires careful application to avoid cutting through clear coats.

FAQs
Can I use G3 by hand?
Yes, it can be applied by hand, though it requires significantly more effort and is best suited for localized spots rather than entire vehicles.
Does G3 provide a final finish?
G3 is a cutting compound; while it restores color and shine, you should follow it with a fine finishing polish for a show-car gloss.
Is this safe for all paint types?
It is safe for most cured automotive paints, but always perform a test spot in an inconspicuous area first.
Do I need to mix this with water?
The product is designed to be used with water to activate its abrasive properties and keep the surface lubricated.
What happens if I use too much pressure?
Excessive pressure, especially with a machine polisher, can cause overheating and potential paint burn-through, particularly on edges.
Troubleshooting
Compound drying out too quickly
Ensure the pad is sufficiently damp and work in smaller sections to maintain lubrication.
Swirl marks remain after buffing
Check your pad condition; a dirty or clogged pad will fail to cut effectively and can cause marring.
White residue left on plastic trim
Clean immediately with a dedicated plastic trim cleaner or a damp cloth before the residue hardens.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure the vehicle surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried before application to prevent trapped debris from causing further scratches. The G3 paste is compatible with both wool and foam compounding pads. For maintenance, keep the tub lid tightly sealed to prevent the paste from drying out, and store it in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. If the paste begins to thicken, adding a tiny amount of water can help improve its workability on the pad.
