Product Information
Full details
T-Cut Perfect Compound is designed for car enthusiasts and DIY detailers looking to restore tired paintwork by removing oxidation, swirl marks, and light scratches. Its primary benefit is a fast-acting micro-polishing system that prepares any paint finish for a final wax or glaze, though users must note that it is strictly for automotive paint and should not be used on glass, plastics, or matte finishes.

FAQs
Can I use T-Cut Perfect Compound on plastic trim?
No, this product is designed exclusively for painted surfaces and may stain or damage unpainted plastic or vinyl trim.
Is it safe for ceramic coated cars?
Using a compound will likely remove any existing ceramic coating or wax. It should only be used if you intend to re-apply protection afterward.
Do I need to wash the car first?
Yes, always wash and dry the vehicle thoroughly to remove loose dirt and grit that could cause further scratching during the polishing process.
Can I use this on a matte finish?
No, this compound is formulated to produce a high-gloss shine and will permanently alter the appearance of matte or special effect paints.
What is the recommended RPM for machine polishing?
The recommended speed range for a compound mop is between 1,000 and 1,800 rpm.
Does it contain silicone?
No, this is a silicone-free formula, which is preferred for professional-grade paint correction.
Troubleshooting
Product is drying too fast during application
Reduce the size of the working area and ensure you are working out of direct sunlight on a cool panel.
Streaking or residue remaining after buffing
Ensure you are using a clean, dry microfibre cloth and that you have fully worked the product until it turns clear before wiping off.
Product seems ineffective on deep scratches
If the scratch penetrates through the clear coat and reaches the primer, a compound may not be sufficient. Ensure you are using the correct machine speed and pad combination.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure the vehicle has been thoroughly washed and dried to prevent dragging dirt particles across the clear coat. For machine application, verify that your polishing pad is clean and free of hardened debris from previous jobs.
- Compatibility: Compatible with all traditional automotive paint systems. Avoid use on vinyl wraps, unpainted plastic bumpers, rubber trim, and windows.
- Climate Control: Work in a shaded, cool area. Never apply to hot panels or under direct sunlight, as the formula may dry too quickly, making it difficult to buff.
- Storage: Keep the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dark environment to maintain the integrity of the polishing agents.
