3M 7100114579 Rubbing Compound 1 Gallon

Product Description

The 3M 7100114579 is a medium-cutting liquid rubbing compound formulated for automotive paint correction. It removes scratches left by 1200-grit and finer sandpaper, along with minor surface imperfections in clear coats and painted finishes. The compound ships in a 1-gallon container, making it practical for shop use where volume is a factor. It is designed to perform best when paired with 3M wool or foam compounding pads, allowing technicians to dial in cut level based on pad selection. This is a workhorse compound suited for daily production use in body shops and detail operations.

This compound fits into the correction stage of a paint refinishing workflow. It is typically applied after block sanding to level the surface before polishing. The 1-gallon size suits production body shops, dealership detail departments, and mobile detailing operations that process multiple vehicles per day. It works on a range of automotive paint systems where a medium level of cut is needed without stepping up to a more aggressive heavy-cut compound.

Installation Notes

Applied by professional detailers and body shop technicians using a dual-action or rotary polisher. Work in a shaded area on a cool surface to prevent the compound from drying too quickly. Use a clean pad and apply product in controlled passes, keeping the machine moving to avoid heat buildup. Dispose of used compound and contaminated pads according to local regulations.
