Compounds

Paint correction starts with the right compound. Whether you're dealing with light swirl marks, water etching, oxidation, or deeper scratches, Detail Tonic's polish and cutting compound range gives you the cutting power to remove defects and restore your paintwork to a clear, refined finish.

Machine-applied compounds are the most effective route to genuine paint correction — used with a cutting or polishing pad on a dual-action or rotary polisher, they remove clear coat defects systematically and with much less effort than hand application. Work through the stages — heavy cut first if needed, then a finer polish to refine and reduce haze — and finish with a wax or coating for protection.
