- Designed to remove 800 grit or finer sand scratches. The Diamond Cut Ultra High-Performance Paint Leveling Compound is more aggressive than our original Diamond Cut compound, meaning it can cut through scratches and other paint blemishes in less time.
- Leave your paint looking like a mirror. The Diamond Cut Ultra provides a high-shine, haze-free finish that restores life to weathered surfaces after one application. It also produces a mango scent that compliments your fresh finish!
- Great, body shop safe compound for step-one of the correction process. Apply the Diamond Cut Ultra to remove scratches and swirls. Then use our Blue Diamond Premium Polish and Sealant to add further gloss and protection. Step three is the STS 3000 Polymer Paint Sealant, which can protect your paint for up to one year!
- Advanced technology produces minimal dust and swirling. Dust is an unwanted byproduct of compounding, but the Diamond Cut Ultra produces almost no dust. Cut down on the time you spend cleaning up pesky dust particles.
- Ideal for detailers working in hot, humid climates. Compounding in hot, humid environments presents challenges such as product drying out quickly and leaving behind a haze. The Diamond Cut Ultra is haze-free and swirl-free, standing up to demanding weather conditions that inferior compounds cannot withstand.
-
- Shake your bottle of Diamond Cut Ultra and deposit five dabs of compound onto your polishing pad. We suggest using one of our Flex Polishers and a Lake Country CCS Yellow Compounding Foam Pad.
- Work in 2 ft. by 2 ft. sections. Spread the compound and adjust the speed of your polisher according to the needs of your surface. Press harder for more aggressive correcting. Use overlapping motions.
- Once compound diminishes, slow your speed until your surface is glossy. Wipe the remaining product with a Microfiber Towel and move on to the next step of the correction process!

Compound is used to correct heavy imperfections in
clear coat or gel coat. This could be heavier scratches, water spots or bird dropping stains that have been on the vehicle for several months, heavy oxidation, etc.
Compound is the most aggressive liquid used for paint correction and just slightly less aggressive and safer than sanding. -
If a vehicle is maintained regularly, compounding
won’t be a regular occurrence. Initially, if a vehicle is in pretty rough shape and needs some extensive paint correction you could compound the entire
vehicle, but after that compounding would not be done regularly, especially on the entire vehicle. After a full paint correction has been done, compounding can be done every so often for heavy scratch removal, or to remove other imperfections where polishing isn’t aggressive enough but that would be on an
as-needed basis in those specific areas, and not just regular maintenance. Anytime compounding is done, it should be followed up by Polishing and
protection steps. -
There is a limitation to what can be fixed when it
comes to paint correction. The general rule of thumb is that if you can feel the scratch with your fingernail when you drag your fingernail across the scratch, you will definitely need to compound or possibly need to wet sand, but there is a chance that you might not get the scratch out all the way (safely). If you cannot feel the scratch with your fingernail there is a good chance it
can be removed and a compound would be the first thing to try. Acid Rain, Bird Dropping Stains, and other stains that have been in the paint for a year or
longer will most likely not come out completely even with compounding. Compounding could remove part of the stain or make the stain less visible but
once it has etched too far into the paint the only way to fix it would be to have the panel re-painted.
