The innovative cut compound for automotive clear coats leaves a dazzling impression everywhere. Gets sanding marks out of the way in record time. Works into the finish range thanks to the latest polishing technology with dividing polishing grit.

Menzerna Heavy Cut Compound 1000 is a powerful polishing compound approved for scratch removal on newly cured paint and older paints. This silicone-free, low-dusting compound removes sanding scratches, overspray, and swirls like an aggressive compound but PowerGloss finishes like a car polish!

Menzerna 1000 Compound quickly eliminates 1000-1500 grit sanding scratches, swirl marks, and overspray with minimal dusting. It is the most aggressive of Menzerna’s polishes, yet it does not require follow up polishing in many cases. (Dark colored vehicles are the exception since they show everything, but even black cars will glow after one or two passes with Menzerna Final Finish.)

Menzerna Heavy Cut Compound 1000 finishes like a polish! That’s right, a compound – the heavy hitter in terms of cut – finishes with the gloss and smoothness of a polish. Menzerna is able to do this because of the uniform, specially milled aluminum oxide abrasives that break down under the gradual increase in heat produced by the polisher. This is what we call a self-refining compound. Most light colored vehicles will not require subsequent steps to restore gloss. The speed and efficiency of Menzerna makes it particularly attractive to professional detailers and auto refinishers who require results they can count on time and time again.


Menzerna Heavy Cut Compound 1000 is excellent for restoring aged and weather-beaten paint finishes. It eliminates scratches on any type of paint, including today’s scratch-resistant paints, such as the ceramic clear coat used by Mercedes.
