Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is Cartec Diamond Cut 3000 suitable for soft paint layers?

No, Cartec Diamond Cut 3000 is primarily developed for hard and scratch-resistant paintwork as well as freshly painted surfaces. On very soft paint layers, a milder polish is recommended to avoid overly aggressive material removal. See polishes for soft paintwork as a complement.

Does the polishing pad need cleaning between each use of Cartec Diamond Cut 3000?

Yes, the polishing pad should be cleaned at regular intervals when working with Cartec Diamond Cut 3000 to prevent built-up residue from affecting the cutting result. A microfibre towel is used at the end to remove any remaining product from the paint surface before the next step.

What sets Cartec Diamond Cut 3000 apart from other heavy-cut compounds on the market?

Cartec Diamond Cut 3000 combines fast deep-cutting with a formula free from silicone, ammonia and fillers, giving a more predictable result for subsequent treatment. Many heavy-cut compounds on the market contain fillers that temporarily hide scratches, whereas Diamond Cut 3000 is developed for a lasting cutting result.
