AUTOSOL® HIGH PERFOMANCE MARINE COMPOUND

What is AUTOSOL High Performance Marine Compound and why choose it

AUTOSOL High Performance Marine Compound is a professional cutting compound formulated specifically for boats and other marine craft. It is designed to remove heavy swirl and sanding marks, oxidation and stubborn staining caused by weather, water pollution and sun exposure on fiberglass gelcoat and painted surfaces. The product delivers fast cutting performance while leaving a superior high gloss finish, making it suitable both for restoration work and for maintaining newer surfaces.

Thanks to its dust-free, silicone-free formula with no fillers, it provides a clean, professional result that does not mask defects but actually removes them. This makes it a reliable choice for boat owners, detailers and shipyards looking for consistent, high-quality finishes.

Manufacturer catalogues indicate it is suitable for removing sanding scratches in the approximate range of P1200–P2000 grit on gelcoat and paint.
