What is MaxShine's Cut-Max Cutting Compound?

MaxShine's Cut-Max Cutting Compound is a high-performance abrasive compound designed to remove light scratches, oxidation, swirl marks, and other paint defects from automotive surfaces.

How does Cut-Max Cutting Compound work?

Cut-Max Cutting Compound uses advanced abrasive technology to break down the surface imperfections and remove them effectively. The abrasive particles in the compound help to level the paint surface, resulting in a smoother and more polished finish.

Can I use Cut-Max Cutting Compound by hand?

While Cut-Max Cutting Compound can be used by hand, it is primarily designed for machine application using a dual-action polisher or rotary buffer. Machine application ensures better results and saves time and effort.

Is Cut-Max Cutting Compound safe to use on all paint types?

Cut-Max Cutting Compound is safe for use on most paint types, including clear coats, single-stage paints, and factory-applied OEM paints. However, it is always recommended to perform a small test spot on an inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire surface.

How much Cut-Max Cutting Compound should I use for each application?

The amount of Cut-Max Cutting Compound required depends on the size of the area you are working on and the severity of the paint defects. As a general guideline, a small amount, such as a dime-sized drop, is usually sufficient for a 2x2 feet section. Adjust the quantity as needed for larger or smaller areas.

Can Cut-Max Cutting Compound be used in direct sunlight?

It is generally recommended to work in a shaded area or out of direct sunlight when using Cut-Max Cutting Compound. High temperatures and direct sunlight can cause the compound to dry out quickly, making it less effective and more difficult to remove.

How long should I work the compound on the surface?

The duration of application depends on the severity of the paint defects and the type of machine polisher being used. Typically, you should work the compound on the surface until the desired level of correction is achieved. It is important to follow the instructions provided by MaxShine and avoid excessive heat buildup on the surface.

Do I need to apply a wax or sealant after using Cut-Max Cutting Compound?

After using Cut-Max Cutting Compound, it is recommended to follow up with a fine polish or a finishing polish to refine the paint surface and enhance the gloss. Additionally, applying a wax or sealant will provide long-lasting protection to the newly corrected and polished surface.

Can Cut-Max Cutting Compound be used on non-automotive surfaces?

Cut-Max Cutting Compound is primarily formulated for automotive surfaces. While it may work on certain non-automotive surfaces, it is advisable to consult the manufacturer's recommendations and perform a test spot before applying it to the entire surface.
