3M Perfect-It  Rubbing Compound is a new breed of compound. In the past, you could gauge the cutting speed of a compound by rubbing it between your thumb and finger. If the compound felt gritty, it was a fast-cutting compound. The problem with these compounds is that they leave deep compounding swirls that are more difficult and time-consuming to remove.

3M Perfect-It 3000 Rubbing Compound has changed the rules. This compound works with a combination of mineral and chemical technology to quickly remove sanding scratches, leaving only shallow swirl marks. 3M Perfect-It Rubbing Compound is not gritty or coarse. It leaves a fine finish that polishes out easily with the next step, 3M Perfect-It Machine Polish.
