Infinity Wax Medium Cut Compound Polish With Diminishing Abrasive Remove moderate paintwork defect...Infinity Wax Medium Cut Compound Polish With Diminishing Abrasive Remove moderate paintwork defects or single stage like a pro!
What is it? POLISH is a medium cutting compound suitable for use on automotive paint finishes. Designed to remove moderate defects like minor scratches, swirls and restore clarity with ease and efficiency. It also diminishes which reduces holograms and micro marring that may be generated during polishing.
What's it made from? Using an all new ground up formula, POLISH uses a water based suspension of aluminium oxide abrasive particles combined with calcium. This provides impressive cutting power and dramatically enhancing gloss, while the calcium and aluminium react when heat is generated to break down and leave a stunning glossy finish.

This guide is for automotive detailers and enthusiasts looking to restore paintwork. The Infinity Wax Medium Cut Compound Polish offers an efficient way to remove moderate paint defects and enhance gloss. A potential caveat is the need for proper application technique to avoid micro-marring.

FAQs
What type of defects can this compound remove?
It is designed to remove moderate paint defects such as light to medium swirl marks, minor scratches, water spots, and oxidation.
Can I use this on a brand new car?
While a new car might not have defects, this compound can be used to enhance gloss and clarity if desired. However, for new paint, a less aggressive polish is often recommended unless defects are present.
Do I need to use a specific type of polishing pad?
It is recommended to use medium-cut foam pads or microfiber cutting pads with a machine polisher. For hand application, a foam applicator pad is suitable.
Is this a one-step polish?
It is a medium cut compound, capable of single-stage correction for moderate defects. For very fine finishes or heavy defects, a follow-up finer polish or finishing step may be beneficial.
How much product should I use?
Start with a small amount, approximately a quarter-sized drop for machine polishing a 2'x2' section. Adjust as needed based on pad type and paint condition.
What is the shelf life of the product?
When stored correctly in a sealed container away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight, the product should maintain its efficacy for several years.
Can I use this on matte paint?
This compound is intended for use on gloss finishes. Using it on matte paint may alter the finish. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Product leaves hazing or micro-marring
Reduce pressure, slow down machine speed, or ensure abrasives have fully diminished. Consider a final polish with a finer compound or polish.
Compound dries too quickly
Work in smaller sections, use slightly less product, or apply in cooler conditions. A light mist of water or detail spray can help if it dries prematurely.
Poor cutting performance
Ensure the correct applicator pad is being used. Increase pressure slightly or increase machine speed. Verify the product is not old or has not been stored improperly.
Residue is difficult to wipe off
Use a clean, plush microfiber towel. If residue is stubborn, a damp microfiber towel can help lift it, followed by a dry wipe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the painted surface is clean and dry.
Apply a small amount of polish (pea-sized or slightly larger) to your chosen applicator pad (foam or microfiber for machine use, foam applicator for hand use).
Spread the product evenly over a small section (e.g., 2'x2') at a low speed before increasing to the working speed.
Work the polish using moderate pressure, moving the machine in a cross-hatch pattern until the product becomes clear or begins to haze.
Wipe away residue with a clean microfiber towel.
Compatibility:
Suitable for use on automotive clear coats and single-stage paint finishes.
Can be used with dual-action (DA) or rotary polishers, as well as by hand.
Recommended to be paired with appropriate polishing pads (e.g., foam or microfiber).
Care:
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent drying out.
Clean applicator pads and microfiber towels thoroughly after each use to prevent contamination.
