SONAX CutMax Paint Correction Compound 250ml — High-Abrasive P1500 Cut, Water-Based Low-Dust Formula

SONAX CutMax is a water-based, high-abrasive paint correction compound designed to remove up to P1500 sanding marks while leaving a clear, easy-to-wipe finish.

Built for professional detailers and serious DIYers, CutMax balances aggressive cutting power with a controllable working window. Its water-based, solvent- and silicone-free formulation reduces dusting and odor, making it suitable for collision centers and body shops that need reliable, safe performance. The 250ml bottle gives you a compact, easy-to-handle container that pairs well with rotary or dual-action polishers and a range of foam or wool pads.

How does CutMax remove deep sanding marks without harming the clearcoat?

CutMax uses an optimized abrasive matrix that aggressively attacks P1500-level scratches while minimizing heat build-up and clearcoat removal. The formulation disperses abraded material effectively so you get rapid cut with a smooth transition to finishing steps.

• Removes P1500 grit sanding marks efficiently
• Abrasive system formulated for maximum cut with controlled material removal
• Water-based carrier reduces overheating and extends safe polishing time

What makes CutMax practical for professional shops and bodywork?

The compound is solvent- and silicone-free, making it safe to use in environments where contamination or strong fumes are concerns. Its low-dust behavior and long buffing cycle let technicians work precisely without frequent reapplication or excessive cleanup.

• Odorless formula suited to enclosed shop spaces
• Dust-free characteristic minimizes cleanup and particulate spreading
• Long working window reduces re-application and saves labor time

Which tools and pads deliver the best results with CutMax?

CutMax is versatile across machine types: it performs well with both rotary and dual-action polishers. For aggressive leveling follow a cutting pad (hybrid wool or red cutting foam) by a finishing pad to refine gloss and remove any micro-marring.

• Compatible with rotary and dual-action polishers
• Use hybrid wool or red cutting pad for initial correction
• Finish with a fine foam pad or microfiber cloth for highest gloss

How do you remove the residue and evaluate the finish after polishing?

Because CutMax is formulated for easy wipe-off, remove compound residue with a clean microfiber cloth and inspect under direct light. If haze or fine swirl marks remain, follow with a refining polish and a softer pad to elevate gloss.

• Wipe off with a SONAX or high-quality microfiber cloth
• Inspect under natural or bright artificial light
• Refine with a less abrasive polish if needed for mirror finish

Who is this for: SONAX CutMax is intended for professional detailers, body shop technicians, and experienced enthusiasts who need dependable, high-cut performance without solvent fumes or silicone contamination. Choose CutMax when you must remove heavy sanding marks or restore severely weathered paint, and pair it with the recommended pads and polishers to achieve a balanced combination of aggressive correction and a clean, refinish-ready surface.
