Use Tru-Grit to repair paint defects and remove deep scratches and heavy oxidation, as well as environmental contaminants from any automotive, marine or industrial coating. ## Features - REMOVES 1000 GRIT AND FINER SAND SCRATCHES: A heavy cutting compound for deep sand scratches, heavy oxidation and environmental paint damage, the level of correction a polish alone will never reach on its own. Made in the USA. - WORKS ON FRESH AND FULLY CURED PAINT: Formulated for both fully cured finishes and clears that are only 24 hours old, across high solids and standard clear coats, which is what makes it usable on a panel straight out of the booth. - DIMINISHING ABRASIVES CUT THEN POLISH: The abrasives break down as you work, combining aggressive cutting at the start of the pass with polishing action by the end, so the panel comes up with less haze left to chase afterward. - NO WAXES, SILICONES OR FILLERS: Corrects the defect instead of filling it, so nothing reappears after the next wash, and the absence of silicone keeps it safe to use around body shop refinish work in the same bay. - WATER-BASED, EASY CLEANUP: A water-based formula that wipes off panels and washes out of pads easily. Works on automotive, marine and industrial coatings, so one 32 oz bottle covers a car, a boat hull or painted equipment. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002QCXYDA | | Best Sellers Rank | #314,262 in Car & Motorbike ( See Top 100 in Car & Motorbike ) #1,990 in Polishes | | Brand Name | Malco | | Compatible Material | Metals, Plastics, Composites, Rubber, Leather | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (829) | | Grit Material Type | Zirconia Alumina | | Grit Number | 1000 | | Grit Type | Coarse | | Item Highlight | Automotive Paint Correction and Detailing Compound, Removes 1000-1500 Grit Sand Scratches from Vehicle Clear Coat | | Item Weight | 32 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Malco | | Material Type | Aluminium Oxide | | Model Number | MAL1200023 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Part Number | MAL1200023 | | UPC | 075929300326 | | Unit Count | 32 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Malco - **Grit Material:** Zirconia Alumina - **Grit Type:** Coarse - **Item Weight:** 32 Ounces - **Material:** Aluminium Oxide ## Images ![Malco Tru Grit Heavy Duty Buffing and Polishing Compound for Cars, 32 Oz. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41MZBKhCzZL.jpg) ![Malco Tru Grit Heavy Duty Buffing and Polishing Compound for Cars, 32 Oz. - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41XqAyK0mkL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How does this compare to meguiar's ultimate compound as far as aggressiveness. i don't want it to affect my clear coat** A: The user affects the clear coat.

You ask if it get hard when it drys this is rubbing compound you buff it with a buffer it is not wax **Q: Could this substitute for diamond paste on the polishing wheel of a grinder to bevel glass?** A: Do not believe this product is hard enough to polish glass. It works very well on paint and plastic though. **Q: Inherited my dad's car, sanded/buffed off a layer of grime but it has swirlies galore. Everything looks normal when wet. Is this my last step?** A: Malco Tru Grit Is NOT a final polish. It is an abrasive rubbing compound to get oxidation and dead paint off the cars surface. You need to follow up your sanding/buffing with finer grits or polishing compounds to get the swirl marks out. Congrats on inheriting your dad’s car.
