What Makes C4 Compound Awesome
C4 stands for Clear Cut Correction Compound. This best-selling compound is more abrasive to remove deep imperfections on paintwork surfaces. It quickly removes defects, scratching, acid rain marks, etching, swirling, holograms, and 1200+ grit sanding marks.
Unlike heavy-duty abrasive compounds that can leave marks while they cut, C4 leaves minimal compounding swirls & micro-marring, eliminating the need for additional paint refinement before final polish. And unlike other heavy-cutting compounds that produce copious amounts of dust and debris, adding work time to your job, C4 polishing compound produces low dust, so you can get on with your day. For the ultimate shine, follow this up with P4 Polish.

I couldn’t believe how easy C4 is to work with. I tried it on my work vehicle which is in pretty bad shape in the paint dept. When I got through with it, I almost didn’t recognize my own car
