3M Heavy Cutting Compound is a powerful abrasive product designed to remove severe imperfections from a vehicle's clear coat. Here's a closer look at its features and how to use it:

Features:

• Strong cutting power: This compound tackles heavy scratches, oxidation, water spots, and other deep paint defects.
• Restores clarity: By removing imperfections, it helps restore the paint's original clarity and shine.
• Available in various forms: May come in liquids, pastes, or creams depending on the specific product.

Important to Consider:

• Abrasive: Since it's a heavy cutting compound, it removes a layer of clear coat in the process of removing defects. Use it sparingly and only on areas that need correction.
• Not a one-step solution: After using a heavy cutting compound, you'll typically need to follow up with a polishing stage to refine the surface and achieve a high gloss finish.
