Chop Top - 8oz
DEFECTS BEWARE.
Chop Top is our highest-cutting compound, with zero fillers and a cut aggressive enough to remove up to 1500-grit sand scratches and severe defects on the hardest clear coats. Because it is a diminishing abrasive, it still finishes down to an impressive gloss, which is rare for something this aggressive. It was designed for a rotary and wool pad but works excellent on a dual action too.
- Maximum cut: Removes severe defects and sand scratches on even the hardest clears, saving real time on heavy correction.
- Still finishes well: The diminishing abrasive refines as it breaks down, so it leaves a surprisingly clean finish for a heavy cutter.
- Zero fillers, VOC compliant: Body-shop friendly correction with no fillers masking the result.
- Pads we pair with it: The Deck Hand White medium-cut wool pad on gel coat, or a microfiber cutting pad on clear coat. On a dual action, use Uro-fiber on hard paint or HDO blue foam on softer paint.
- Boost your cut: We sometimes add a little Chop Top to the same pad as Classic Cut to give a job a bit more cutting power when it needs it.

How to Use
Rotary
- Run a wool or cutting pad with a slow, controlled arm speed so the compound can maximize its cut.
- Wipe and inspect.
Dual action
- Use a microfiber cutting pad and work the section with slow passes and moderate pressure.
- Wipe and inspect.
Detailer Tips
- A spritz of Shine Mist extends the cycle time.
- On gel coat, follow your Heavy Cut step with Chop Top on a Deck Hand wool pad, then move to Wake Up.
- On clear coat, follow with Classic Polish on an HDO orange foam pad.
- Skip it on single-stage paint.

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 78 reviews.
Buddy of mine invited me to his shop to help him wet sand and buff, to show him a better way to achieve the best results, I use choptop. After roughly 2-3 passes with it all the sanding marks are completely gone. My buddy says I make it look easy. I’ll live and die by choptop, the finish speaks for itself! I pair it with a rotary and 5” short hair wool pad
Love it
First time using Chop Top and it was amazing! Working on a 1997 PowerPlay with heavy oxidation.....so satisfying!
Chop top was the first professional brand compound i used when I started detailing full time. Hands down the best all around compound ive ever used.
We run all shine supply products across the board to consistently deliver a top notch experience and detail Thank you
Best compound I have ever used. From light to heavy oxidation, chop top will eat through it
Works as depicted. Brought my boat out of marina to do a complete exterior polish. Probably the first time in 25 years.
These products were very easy to use and I got the quality I was looking for from them also the staff is very helpful
Chop top and heavy cut are my absolute go to
This stuff is amazing! I used it to remove sanding scratches and I will keep it in my arsenal from now on! Another one!(DJ Khaled voice)
Test spot hit with Shine Supply Heavy Cut followed by Shine Supply Chop Top to restore this aged black boat to glory.
I use Chop Top as my second step on fiberglass. It is a great mix of cutting and then finishing super clean. Even on black gelcoat!!
Final result of this car with very bad paint. Combo of Clasic Cut, Flat Top and Chop Top. Killer combo for old German cars that has been washed in a washing machine with brushers since new. Shine Supply for the win! #1 product by fare...
One of our favorite Polishes on boats! cuts fast and finishes out to perfection!
I love using Chop Top. It’s easy to work with and leaves an incredible shine!
I used a few products! I did a full correction with Heavy Cut, Chop Top, Wakeup as well as topped it with Marine Beadlock! Results speak for themselves! Absolutely loved these products and the results! Already made more orders! Customer service was top notch too!
Looks great! Love the end result.
This boat looks so good with a combination of Chop top and heavy cut.
This product brought my boat to life. Couldn’t believe how good it looks. You think your boat looks great when it’s new? I promise you that if you use this product along with wake up, your boat will shine brighter than ever before. It is amazing!
love chop top!
Chop top did an amazing job when it came down to buffing the gel coat on a medium/light oxidation boat. I will us this product for a long time
If you're working on boats, RV's, airplanes, trailers and anything else, you'll be very happy you tried Shine Supply Chop Top.
This is by far the best cutting compound I have ever used. This was on single stage paint and paired with a rupes blue wool DA pad. The compound offers a fast cut with an amazing finish and is also great when used outside in the heat.
I have been using chop top for years. It’s simply the best compound on the market all the way around! This was paired with heavy cut but only on gel coat do I pair anything with chop top! From paint corrections to enhancements and scratch removals this is the best it gets!
Chop Top helped speed up bringing this old single stage paint back to life
My new favorite !!!
Heavy Cut and Chop Top doing work!!
I made the mistake of running out of this and using the 3m product. I only use 1/3 of this product compared to the other one, which makes this a less product. Also, this product is much easier to wipe off when done buffing. You can also use this product as a final step or use burn out. I buffed the right side of the door in the photo as an example.
I purchase a new to me nitro and it looked rough. I had never owned a boat much less detail one. Found your products on drakes detailing YouTube channel and they worked just as he said they would. Will buy again!
This is a great follow up to Heavy Cut to get all of the swirls out of the gel coat before the polishing step. Every marine detailer should have at least a gallon (or three) of this in their arsenal. Highly Recommend!
Great product
Works great at remiving small scatches and defects. Also is not to hard to remove
Super solid got my boat cleaned up and shined out
Great products!!!
Chop Top is my go to when starting my first break through with sanding marks. Paired with a rotary and a wool pad, this compound cuts through quickly and efficiently 💯
It’s one of our go to products and works great!
Extremely happy with the products especially the marine ceramic my boat looks amazing Still after a full season it still looks great!!
Chop top is one of our go-to compounds in the shop. For your heavier defects, it cuts quick and leaves behind a great finish making your polishing step much quicker. Great for marine use as well!
Chop top is so easy to work with and does leaves the gel coat shiny smooth and ready for wax!
