Meguiar’s is bringing a new generation of cutting power to the paint correction process with M111 Heavy Hitter Compound Gel, a gel-based compound designed as a successor to the infamous M101 Foam Cut Compound. Featuring AMP-Ceramic (Advanced Multi-Phased) Abrasives, M111 is engineered to deliver an incredibly high level of cut, with precision defect removal, reduced working time, and a finish that rivals a polish.
With extended work time and compatibility for use with rotary polishers, random orbital polishers, and hand application, M111 aims to combine serious correction power with impressive finishing capability.
