Medium‑Duty Polishing & Surface Correction Compound

Pearl Scratch Remover is an outstanding multi‑purpose medium‑duty polishing and cleaning compound designed to remove paint imperfections including surface scratches, holograms, rotational swirl marks, light oxidation, bird‑lime etching, and embedded contaminants that standard polishes cannot eliminate. It restores dull, weathered, or aged paintwork back to a fresh, like‑new appearance in a single easy step, delivering trade‑quality results with minimal effort.

Formulated with advanced super‑fine abrasive technology, it permanently removes imperfections rather than masking them, producing a superior blemish‑free gloss finish. Exceptionally versatile, it can be applied by hand or machine and is ideal for rapid coverage of large areas such as bonnets, roofs, and wide body panels. It also provides excellent plastic/acrylic headlamp restoration, removing scratches, scuffs, and yellowing.

Completely silicone‑free, wax‑free, non‑flammable, and low VOC, Pearl Scratch Remover is fully body‑shop safe.

• Buff to a high‑gloss finish using a clean, dry Pro Microfibre Cloth

By Machine

Machine Speed

• 1200–2000 rpm (free running)
• Use a soft foam polishing pad, or a wool pad where additional cut is required

Pad Loading

• Vertical surfaces: Charge the soft white foam pad with Scratch Remover
• Horizontal surfaces: Apply Scratch Remover to the foam pad and/or directly onto the panel

Machine Polishing Steps

1. Apply Scratch Remover to the paint surface and spread into a thin, even layer using the polishing pad
2. Begin polishing, gradually reducing pressure as the film starts to clear
3. Continue to float the surface with an un‑pressured pad
4. Once clear, remove any remaining residue with a clean microfibre cloth

Swirl Removal Guidance

• Keep polishing pads clean and separate from compounding pads
• Before polishing, ensure all dust or compounding residue is removed
• Wash the vehicle surface using a non‑silicone‑based product such as Pearl Universal Cleaner (PL003)
