Malco Gel Coat Cutting Compound - 1 Gallon

The Malco Gel Coat Cutting Compound - 1 Gallon is a professional marine finishing product formulated to correct gelcoat and compatible marine surfaces by removing P1000-and-finer sanding scratches along with oxidation and other finish defects. It is intended for restoration and detailing work where weathering, oxidation, sanding marks, or environmental exposure have reduced the appearance and condition of the finish.

The water-based formula delivers fast cutting action while simplifying cleanup. It is designed to leave useful gloss after correction without relying on waxes, silicones, or fillers to hide defects. Correct product selection matters because aggressive compounds and protective waxes serve different stages of the restoration process, from leveling defects to preserving the corrected finish.

For best results, inspect the surface before beginning and use the product only on compatible materials. When machine application is appropriate, match the pad, machine action, speed, pressure, and working section to the condition of the finish, then inspect between passes to avoid unnecessary correction.
