CarPro ClearCut Fast Cut Compound

CarPro ClearCut Fast Cut Compound

High-Performance Cutting Compound

CarPro Clear Cut Compound is a cutting-edge, low-dust abrasive compound designed for professional-grade paint correction. Developed by CarPro, a leader in automotive detailing innovation, Clear Cut delivers rapid defect removal while minimising work time and effort. Leveraging advanced abrasive technology, it is ideal for detailers and enthusiasts seeking precision, performance, and a flawless finish.

Key Features and Technical Specifications:

1. Advanced Abrasive Technology CarPro Clear Cut utilises self-diminishing abrasives that provide exceptional cutting power at the start of application and break down gradually into finer particles as you work. This enables rapid removal of defects such as scratches, swirls, oxidation, and sanding marks up to P1000 grit, while leaving behind a smoother finish than traditional heavy-cut compounds.

2. Low Dust Formula Formulated with low-dust technology, Clear Cut reduces airborne residue and cleanup time, enhancing the user experience. This feature also minimizes the risk of micro-marring during the compounding process.

3. Fast-Acting Compound Designed for efficiency, CarPro Clear Cut works quickly, cutting through defects in half the time compared to conventional compounds. Its precision abrasives eliminate the need for extended polishing sessions, saving detailers significant time during multi-stage corrections.

4. Versatile Application CarPro Clear Cut is compatible with both rotary and dual-action (DA) polishers. Whether used on hard or soft paint systems, it offers outstanding results, making it suitable for a variety of vehicles, including modern clear coats, single-stage paints, and even gel coats on marine surfaces.

5. Finishing Potential Unlike other aggressive compounds, CarPro Clear Cut leaves minimal haze, reducing the amount of follow-up polishing required. Its refined abrasive breakdown makes it possible to achieve a near-finished look on some paint systems, reducing the need for extensive secondary refinement.

Cutting Performance

- CarPro Clear Cut excels at rapid defect removal, with impressive results on P1000-P1500 sanding marks, heavy oxidation, and swirl marks.

- On a rotary polisher at 1000-1500 RPM, the abrasives cut effectively without clogging or excessive heat buildup.

- With a DA polisher, the compound performs well at speeds of 4-6, balancing power and control to tackle defects without introducing holograms.

Testing revealed minimal dusting compared to traditional compounds, making CarPro Clear Cut an excellent choice for professional shops and enthusiasts working indoors or in controlled environments. Low dust reduces cleanup and decreases contamination risks during extended correction sessions.

Clear Cut’s abrasives exhibit a smooth breakdown, which minimizes haze or micro-marring on softer paints. Testing on ceramic clear coats and European paints (known for hardness) showed effective cutting without causing additional damage. Follow-up refinement with a finishing polish such as CarPro Reflect results in a mirror-like clarity.
