Step 1, heavy cut. Super Heavy Cut 300 removes 1500 sanding marks on a heavy cut foam pad, or 1200 on wool, and the VOC free Super Heavy Cut 300 Green Line does the same job without solvent odour. Heavy Cut 400 is a one step compound whose diminishing abrasives cut and then finish to a high gloss on hard and scratch resistant paint, also as 400 Green Line. Heavy Cutting 1000 takes out sanding marks, buffer trails and random deep scratches with long working time, and Heavy Cutting 1100 is made for use with lambswool against severe defects.

Step 2, medium cut. Medium Cut Polish 2000 is the standard medium cut for moderate scratches, wash marks and the marks a heavier compound leaves. 2200 adds extra cutting power for hard and scratch resistant finishes, 2400 has lubricating oils for older paint that has lost its natural oils, and 2500 is designed for soft paint.

Step 3, finish. Final Finish 3000 removes fine swirls and holograms and burnishes to a high gloss, Super Finish 3500 targets light scratches on scratch resistant clear coats, and Super Finish Plus 3800 gives the highest gloss for show cars. For one machine pass there is One Step Polish 3-in-1, which polishes out 3000 grit sanding marks and protects.

Step 4, protection. Power Lock Ultimate Protection is a polymer sealant for all clear coats with a service life of about six months. Spread it with the wax foam pad at low speed and pressure until it turns transparent, wait 20 to 30 minutes, buff off and let it harden for several hours.
