Medium polishing compounds (Medium) are designed for versatile paint correction with a smoother finish than heavy-cut products. They help reduce swirl marks, light scratches, haze and dullness while leaving the surface clearer and glossier. Medium polishes are often used as the primary step for daily-driven cars or as a refining stage after a cutting compound.
When to choose a Medium compound
You need noticeable improvement without aggressive cutting
The paint has swirls and light defects
As a second step after cutting, before finishing
Tips for best results
Pair with the right pad: a polishing pad is usually the best match.
Work in controlled sections and keep pressure moderate for a cleaner finish.
If maximum gloss is required, follow with a finishing polish.
Wipe residue with microfiber and (if needed) do a panel wipe to check the true finish.
