SONAX CutMax Cutting Compound 246300 – High-Performance Paint Correction (1L)

SONAX CutMax Cutting Compound 246300 is a professional-grade solution designed to address deep scratches, sanding marks, and oxidation on automotive paint without compromising the clear coat. It delivers robust cutting action on areas up to P1500 grit while leaving a refined, hologram-free finish on the repaired surfaces.

Its water-based formula provides a longer working window, allowing you to work with consistent results before the product dries. The compound is dust-free, helping keep pads and workspaces cleaner as you polish. Being solvent- and silicone-free, it offers safer handling in body shops and collision centers where safety and cleanup matter.

Whether you’re correcting a single panel or larger sections, CutMax is designed for versatility. It performs well across different clear coats and paint finishes, making it a flexible choice for professional detailers who want reliable, repeatable results.

Recommended use with: SONAX microfiber cloths, a hybrid wool pad, or a red cutting pad, depending on your preferred workflow. For quick defect removal with a dedicated cutting pad, or finishing with a microfiber cloth, CutMax adapts to your process.

Time-saving potential: with a single-step approach, many tasks that used to require claying and multi-step polishing can be streamlined—especially when paired with a rotary polisher and the appropriate pad, such as a 6-inch orange pad.

In real-world shop and detailing settings, you typically apply light passes over affected areas, watch defects soften, and wipe away residue to reveal a smoother, brighter surface. Results will vary with condition, technique, and equipment, so use as part of your standard paint correction workflow.
