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.

Features

  • Among our compounds, C4 is a moderately abrasive compound that can remove medium scratches, leaving you ready to follow up with a polish without further steps.  It is less abrasive than V32. 
  • Easily removes surface defects, water spots, swirls & etching
  • Rapid results that look professional
  • Works with dual action polisher, rotary, or by hand
  • Removes 1200 grit and finer sanding marks
  • Ensures your coating bonds properly and lasts its longest
  • Maintains consistent cut from start to finish
  • Produces virtually zero dust
  • Use with P4 Polish for a perfect paint finish in only two steps

    More Aggresive Please

    Had a heavily oxidized paint on a 1990 Mustang GT. I went over with the orange pad and C4 multiple times. Multiple meaning three times it looked a whole lot better but you could still see swirl marks from before I would like to see something more aggressive so I wouldn’t have to work so hard or so many times to get everything back to the way it should be

    Outstanding

    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

    Really good compound for a DIYer

    This compound is really a "you can't mess this up" solution for the average guy. It has a good medium cut to it (I would actually prefer that it cuts a little more even), but quickly reduces to a polishing compound, and leaves a really nice finish even with a coarser cutting foam pad.

    Guys that are used to using a rotary buffer with trizact are likely to feel like this could be more aggressive, so if you have a lot of correction you may want to start with something that has a heavier cut.

    Fantastic cutting compound

    I used this on my 2019 Silverado that needed paint correction. After clay bar, cutting, polishing, waxing and then ceramic waxing, it looks almost as good as new. I highly recommend this and all chemical guys products.
