The formula contains no wax, silicone, or crystalline silica, allowing it to cut through imperfections on clear coat, single-stage paint, gelcoat and fiberglass without staining or etching. Because it rinses from pads and panels easily, Finish Cut integrates smoothly into multi-step buffing workflows and prepares panels for follow-up sealants or waxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow quickly will Finish Cut remove swirls and light scratches?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish Cut was formulated to level surface defects effectively in a single pass when used with the right pad and speed.
