SUMMIT SUPER COMPOUND removes deep scratches, overspray, and heavy oxidation - a minimum of 1000 grit sanding scratch. Incorporated Diminishing Abrasive Technology (DAT) leaves a mirrored, high gloss finish on either fresh or old paint; paint must be cured before compounding. When applying SUMMIT SUPER COMPOUND, use it as a two-step compound, followed by SUMMIT SUPER POLISH. For best results apply using a compounding pad, with a cut level appropriate to paint condition requirements.
