3D ACA-500 X-Tra Cut Compound

3D ACA 500 X-TRA Cut Compound (32oz)

Unmatched Cutting Power for Wool Pad Users

The 3D ACA 500 X-TRA Cut Compound is the wool pad version of 3D ACA 510, tailored for shops that prefer and use wool pads when cutting with a rotary polisher.

When it comes to polishing paint, the most important factor is the abrasive technology. Think about it: the abrasives touch the paint first, followed by the buffing pad. Behind the pad is the tool, and behind the tool is the person.

3D Products is unique worldwide because our abrasive technology is exclusive to 3D. We produce all our own powders (meaning abrasive technology), going as far as making our own raw materials to create these powders! No other company can make this claim.

Tunch Goren, the head chemist, founder, and owner of 3D Products, developed this technology entirely on his own after studying abrasive technology and formulations for over 25 years. Tunch’s passion is to continually create abrasive technology unlike any other in the world. The process he invented and manufactures in-house in Santa Clarita, California, is unique—no other manufacturing plants on Earth have this capability.

With 3D on the outside of the bottle, you can trust the product inside.

What is it?

A body shop-safe, silicone-free, water-based premium quality fast cutting compound for use with wool pads and rotary polishers to remove sanding marks in body shop environments.

What does it do?

The 3D ACA 500 X-TRA Cut Compound is formulated and intended for use in body shops to remove sanding marks after wet sanding. It can also be used by detailers for paint correction, including removing deep scratches, water spots, swirls, and oxidation. This compound levels automotive paint surfaces to create a more perfect finish.

When do you use it?

Use after wet sanding paint to remove sanding marks, or anytime you need to perform paint correction to remove serious and/or deep swirls, scratches, water spots, or oxidation, and prep the paint for the polishing step.

Why use 3D ACA 500 over other options?

• Fast Cutting: Enjoy a long buffing cycle, zero dusting, and easy wipe-off. Plus, 3D’s exclusive Alpha Ceramic Alumina abrasive technology does not retain heat like conventional abrasive technology, helping keep surface temperatures low.
• Safety: Low buffing temperatures are crucial because, unlike misinformation found online, heat is not good for clear coats. You're not supposed to heat up clear coat paint as part of any buffing process, even though some teach this as an approved practice.
• Human and Environmental Safety: Besides top-notch product performance, 3D prioritizes safety in formulating all products, including compounds, polishes, and all-in-ones. There is zero crystalline silica in the 3D ACA 500 X-TRA Cut Compound, just as in all our products. Crystalline silica, a cheap, fine glass particulate, is commonly used in other brands but never in 3D's products. We ensure safety for you and the environment—this is how we roll at 3DProducts.com.
