CUT HARD CLEAR COAT WITH EASE.

Flat Top is our hard clear coat compound, built with a short cycle time that gives a very aggressive cut and an easy, dry wipe-off. Its standout feature is triple-filtered agglomerates: the abrasives are tumbled and purified three times over, so as they break down they refine the finish instead of marring it. The result is a strong cut that finishes to a near-mirror on tough European-style clears, all on a dual action.

• Aggressive cut on hard clear: Designed specifically for the hard clear coats that resist correction, like Mercedes and Audi.
• Triple-filtered agglomerates: Smooth, refined abrasive edges that polish as they diminish for a clean finish.
• Dry emulsion, easy wipe-off: A semi-odorless, lower-toxicity solvent and effortless removal.
• Pads we pair with it: A microfiber cutting pad on a dual action.
• Dual action machine: Built for a DA. On a rotary it flashes and dries fast, which is why we run it on a dual action.

How to Use

1. Prime the pad with an outer and inner circle of product, worked into the pad.
2. Spread over a 2 ft by 2 ft area. Set the dual action to speed 5.
3. Make 2 slow passes with moderate pressure.
4. Clean the pad, add 4 dime-size dots, and cycle the same section with no pressure for 2 passes.
5. Wipe and follow with a polish.

Detailer Tips

• Slow passes with moderate pressure give the most cut. Faster passes cut less.
• Brush out or clean the pad between sets so the cut stays even.
• Always follow with Classic Polish on an HDO orange foam pad to remove any light haze.
