Product Overview:
Surf-ACE Marine M-40 Ultra-Fine Marine Compound, 1Kg (M-40001) is a professional polish designed to remove light oxidation, scratches, holograms and swirl-marks on gelcoat, fiberglass and painted surfaces while delivering the highest gloss level attainable, particularly on darker color surfaces.
M-40 is traditionally used as a second polishing step in a process following Surf-ACE M-12 Heavy Cut Marine Compound, where heavier oxidation, scratches or sanding scratches have been removed, to deliver optimal gloss and removal of holograms / swirl-marks left from previous polishing steps.
M-40 may also be used as a single polishing step on surfaces for light defect correction and to deliver deep, high-gloss in the fastest time possible.
M-40 is highly recommended to correct problem dark color paint and gelcoat surfaces.
M-40 is a specially formulated ultra-fine compound which benefits from the world’s first DRA (Dynamic Response Abrasive) Technology. DRA incorporates concentrated micro-precision abrasive oxides for increased cutting power and performance on gelcoat, fiberglass and harder lacquer finishes. M-40 is non-cosmetic, containing no fillers to hide scratches or imperfections that can show up later.
Fast and easy to use, M-40 can be used with both rotary and random orbital polishing tools with soft finishing/polishing black foam or lambswool buff pads.
Paint shop approved, M-40 is silicone and wax free. M-40 is also silica-free and nonflammable.
Packaged in 1Kg (2.2lbs) plastic bottles. Made in the UK.
