Correctables 1000 — Heavy-Cut Compound Step

Key features
- Engineered specifically for dual-action orbital polishers
- Body shop and paint shop safe with a silicone-free formula
- Safe on ceramic coatings, fresh paint, and UV cured finishes
- Variable Grit and Molecular Friction Technology for smooth cut-to-finish transitions
- Designed as a full system, each step setting up the next
How to use
Work on a clean, cool panel out of direct sunlight. Prime a foam DA pad with four to five small drops, spread at low speed, then polish in overlapping passes at 4500 to 6000 OPM with light to medium pressure. Wipe the residue with a clean microfiber and move to the next step in the Correctables system. See the bottle for full usage instructions.

Pro Detailer Tips
Patch Test First
Before applying any new product to a full panel, test on a small hidden area first — especially on older paint, vinyl wraps, or exotic finishes.
Read the SDS Sheet
Every professional detailing product has a Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Review it before first use to understand proper handling, dilution limits, and safety precautions.
Store Properly
Keep products in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. Extreme heat or cold can degrade chemistry and shorten shelf life.
