Aquatech Buff & Cut Compound is built for the serious work: heavy oxidation, deep scratches, and chalky, faded gelcoat that won't come back with ordinary polish. The water-soluble formula stays active longer than traditional compounds when used with a mist spray, giving you real working time at machine-buffing speeds. Used correctly, it brings neglected hulls back to life.
