Apply a layer of compound by holding one of these bars against a revolving buffing wheel. Microns are approximate.
Most buffing processes have two steps:
Cutting, the first step, removes scratches and surface imperfections.
Coloring, the second step, produces an even finish.
Cutting/coloring compounds perform both steps at once.

Remove more material than traditional buffing compounds. These consist of abrasive grains embedded in glue to adhere to your buffing wheel. They remove scratches and surface imperfections and leave a dull satin finish. Also known as greaseless compounds. Apply by holding one of these bars against a revolving buffing wheel. Grit is approximate.
Cutting is the first step in the buffing process.
