Common Concerns Answered
Is the "opaque to clear" instruction for working the compound easily understood?
This instruction refers to the visual change in the compound as it breaks down and is worked into the surface. While experienced detailers will recognize this cue, new users may benefit from viewing video demonstrations of the product in action to fully grasp the technique.
Will this compound handle extremely deep hull damage?
Presta PACE™ Medium Cut Compound is rated to remove up to P2500 sand scratches. For significantly deeper gouges or widespread damage, initial aggressive sanding with coarser grits or more intensive multi-stage correction processes may be necessary prior to using this compound.
Is the cost of a case prohibitive for a single user?
While the initial outlay for a case of six 16oz bottles may seem substantial, the cost per bottle is significantly reduced. Furthermore, the efficiency of its one-step process dramatically cuts down labor time and associated costs, making it an economical choice for frequent users.
Frequently Asked Questions
What grit sandpaper scratches can Presta PACE™ Medium Cut Compound remove?
Presta PACE™ Medium Cut Compound is formulated to effectively remove sand scratches up to P2500 grit.
Can Presta PACE™ Medium Cut Compound be used with a rotary polisher?
This compound is specifically designed and optimized for use with orbital polishers. While it might be usable with a rotary, performance and finishing characteristics may differ from its intended application.
How much Presta PACE™ Medium Cut Compound should I use per section?
A general guideline is to use a few dime-sized drops of compound per 2ft x 2ft section. Adjust the amount based on the pad condition and the severity of the defect being corrected.
What is the recommended speed setting for using Presta PACE™ Medium Cut Compound with an orbital polisher?
For optimal performance, use a medium to high speed setting on your orbital polisher, typically between 4-5 on a 6-speed polisher. The compound should break down to a clear residue as you work it.
Should I buff Presta PACE™ Medium Cut Compound to a dry surface?
No, the compound should not be buffed to a completely dry surface. Work the compound until it becomes clear or has a slight sheen, indicating it has broken down sufficiently. Wipe off residue with a clean microfiber towel.
