Product Overview:

Surf-ACE Marine M-10 Xtra Heavy Cut Compound, 1Kg (M-00378) is designed for use on all marine paint systems including gelcoat, fiberglass, molds, other composite surfaces and harder clear-coats. Quickly and easily remove surface imperfections, random deep scratches and heavy oxidation in the shortest possible time. Delivers a unique depth of gloss and mirror-like finish.

M-10 is a professional product that works extremely fast to achieve unparalleled results in the shortest time possible. It is non-cosmetic, containing no fillers to hide scratches or imperfections that can show up later. 

M-10 is a specially formulated compound which benefits from the world's first DRA (Dynamic Response Abrasive) Technology. DRA incorporates concentrated micro-precision abrasive oxides for increased cutting power and performance on gelcoat, fiberglass and harder lacquer finishes. M-10 is concentrated with these micro abrasives, and a small amount is all that is required per applications, offering significant material savings.

M-10 benefits from an improved lubrication system which can, if required, be worked for prolonged periods without drying out. The water-based formula guarantees minimal dieback / hazing on dark colors and offers quick and easy clean-up after application.

Paint shop approved, M-10 is ammonia and silicone free, and finish is paintable.

M-10 is recommended to be used with a rotary-type polisher for heavier correction. Buff pad type will dictate how aggressive the compound works; use a twisted wool cutting pad (e.g. Surf-ACE Marine Super Buff Double-Sided Compounding Pad or similar) for heavier surface correction and removal of up to 600 grit scratch; use a softer buff pad (e.g. lambswool or foam) for less aggressive cutting action and a higher final gloss level.

Packaged in 1 US gallon (3.785 Liters) plastic containers with translucent level markings on side of container. Made in the UK.

  • Paint Shop Approved - ammonia and silicone free and paintable

Directions for Use:

  • Rotary Machine Speed - between 1,200 to 3,000 rpm
  • DA Machine Speed - between 2,000 to 4,000 rpm
  • Select appropriate buff pad for the particular application
  • Note: Do not over apply or use excessive compound, a small amount goes a long way
  • Note: On soft or sensitive paint, or where heat build-up may be a problem, the addition of water mist will help to avoid any friction burn, particularly with new pads; however, avoid using unnecessary/excessive water
  • Note: Once a new pad is activated with water, no additional water needs to be used once the pad has been saturated with product
  1. Apply M-10 in small quantities to the pad or paint surface (excessive product use is not beneficial and wasteful)
  2. Work the surface applying medium pressure until the scratches and imperfections are removed
  3. Increase speed and reduce pressure as the mop starts to move freely to allow polishing action to take place
  4. After compounding, remove any residual and buff surface with a clean cloth
  5. For swirl mark removal and gloss enhancement, particularly on darker colors, follow with Surf-ACE M-40 Ultra-Fine Maine Compound using a soft buff pad
