## Description

Our 3M Perfect-It Gelcoat Heavy Cutting Compound restores the lustrous beauty of boats by eliminating oxidation, scratches, scuff marks and other surface blemishes from gelcoat. Our fastest-cutting product for gelcoat, this compound removes P800 and finer scratches and leaves a high gloss finish ideal for cutting polish and wax.

Review: Excellent cut for oxidized gel coat - This compound cuts very well, it did a great job removing the oxidation from my fiberglass boat. I buffed with a wool pad and had no complaints. This is not meant to be a final product though, you'll notice swirl marks etc after use. Recommend going from the 3M Heavy to 3M Medium and/or 3M light depending on how the finish is looking in between and finishing up with a wax. I buffed the rubbing compounds in with a wool pad but the wax I moved to a foam pad to finish. I really like the 3M products and with time and quite a bit of work it made my 20 year old boat look like new when I was questioning if I was going to be able to revive the gel coat.
Review: Great product - This product works great!!!
