Gladiator Rubbing Compound – Heavy Cut (Stage 1)

High-Performance Heavy Cut Compound is an aggressive paint correction compound formulated to remove deep scratches, heavy oxidation, sanding marks, water spots, and severe paint defects from automotive paint surfaces. Designed as the first stage in the paint correction process, it rapidly levels damaged clear coat layers, restores surface uniformity, and prepares the paint for the refining and polishing stages.

Its advanced abrasive technology provides strong cutting power with controlled correction performance, allowing defects to be reduced efficiently while minimizing unnecessary haze when used correctly. Suitable for all automotive paint systems, including clear coat finishes, it is ideal for professional detailing, body shop correction, and restoration work.

Key Benefits:

• Removes deep scratches and severe paint defects
• Corrects heavy oxidation and dull paint surfaces
• Eliminates sanding marks and surface imperfections
• Provides fast, aggressive cutting performance
• Restores paint uniformity before polishing
• Prepares the surface for Stage 2 refining polish
• Suitable for rotary and dual-action polishers
• Compatible with all automotive paint systems

Application Instructions:

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and cool before application. Apply a small amount of compound to a cutting pad and work in small sections using a rotary or dual-action polisher. Polish the area with controlled pressure until the defects are reduced or removed.

Wipe off any remaining residue with a clean microfiber cloth. For best results, follow with a medium or finishing polish to refine the surface, remove compound haze, and achieve maximum gloss and clarity.
