PAINT PRECLEANERS & COMPOUNDS

These products are used first to prepare the paint for polish or wax or both. All of our compounds should be used with high speed buffers. Orbital buffers can be used. Never use a stronger precleaner than is needed. The less abrasive precleaner will introduce less hazing which will require less polishing afterward. Always wash the car first to remove sandy grit. Always use a clean cutting pad. Be sure to check out the unique, Ardex, beveled edge foam pads, available in four cutting and polishing grades - black, blue green and yellow.
