Compound Polishing

Soft99 Polishing Compound 300ml – Step 2: Refine and Restore Gloss

Polishing Compound is the second step in Soft99's three-stage machine polishing system. This medium-cut, water-based compound removes the haze and micro-marring left by the cutting stage and brings the paint up to a strong gloss.

It also works as a standalone one-step polish on paint with light to moderate defects – wash marring, swirls, holograms and light scratches – without needing Cutting Compound first.

Before: Soft99 Cutting Compound. After: Finishing Compound. Or save with the Soft99 Compound Trio.

Key Features

- Removes swirls, holograms, wash marring and light scratches

- Anti-clogging, low-dust formula – cleaner pads and an easier wipe-off
- No silicone, waxes or fillers – no drop-back, you see true results and it's body shop safe
- Suitable for all gloss-finish automotive paints
- Works with rotary and dual-action polishers

How to Use

This compound is designed for machine polishing.

1. Shake well. Make sure the paint is clean, decontaminated and cool.
2. Apply a few pea-sized drops to a polishing foam pad.
3. Work a small section at a time, around 50 × 50 cm. On a rotary, Soft99 recommends around 1500 rpm with a foam pad. If sanding marks remain from step 1, switch to a wool pad.
4. Use moderate pressure at first, then lighten the pressure as the compound breaks down.
5. Keep an eye on panel temperature to avoid overheating the paint.
6. Wipe residue with a clean microfibre and check your progress with a panel wipe.
