3D AAT 501 Cutting Compound is the first part in a two-part system for use in body shops to cut and finish after sanding. Body shops are considered high-speed or production shops, the collision repair must be made in a timely manner followed by paint work and final polishing steps. Body shop technicians need a compound that works fast and delivers true results, that is the results you see are the results you get.
Many compounds mask scratches and swirls with fillers or oils – we don’t make these kinds of products here at 3D. What you see is what you get – true paint correction with zero hiding.
3D AAT 501 Cutting Compound is our entry level compound. While it’s our entry level compound and the price reflects this, it’s as good, and in most cases better, than any other brand of compound. If your shop is looking for an inexpensive fast cutting compound that works better than the usual suspects, then try 3D AAT 501 Cutting Compound.
Then, after you discover how great our entry level compound is – next time treat yourself to the very best in fast cutting abrasive technology and get a bottle of 3D ACA 510 Premium Rubbing Compound. This top shelf compound costs more to manufacture but after you use it one time, you’ll see why it costs more and you’ll also order it again and again and again – it’s that good.
3D on the outside of the bottle means you can trust the product on the inside of the bottle.

Why use 3D AAT 501 Cutting Compound over other options? - 3D AAT 501 Cutting Compound contains ZERO crystalline silica. This is very important. Historically, and to this day, many compounds and polishes contain this hazardous mineral.
Inhaling crystalline silica can lead to serious, sometimes fatal illnesses including silicosis, lung cancer, tuberculosis (in those with silicosis), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In addition, silica exposure has been linked to other illnesses including renal disease and other cancers.

Crystalline Silica is nothing to mess around with, if you breathe it into your lungs chances are really high it will cause life-long health issues and worse.

Directions:
IMPORTANT: Always work on a cool clean surface in the shade. 3D AAT 501 cuts fast. Be sure to understand the paint you are working on before starting. This compound was originally developed for working on fresh, custom paint work in body shop situations where the technician knows how much paint is being sprayed onto the panels or entire car body. If you’re a detailer working on customer cars, remember factory paint is thin. Always do a Test Spot and use the least aggressive process to get the job done.
Body Shops – Using a rotary polisher
Step 1: Prepare the surface by sanding the paint with the sanding paper of your choice.
Step 2: Attach preferred foam or wool cutting pad to backing plate on rotary polisher and set speed setting to low or medium.
Step 3: Apply 4-5 dime sized drops of product onto the center of the face of buffing pad. Press the face of the pad against a body panel, turn the polisher on and spread the product over the area to be worked, about 2’ by 2’.
Step 4: After spreading polish over area to be worked - turn polisher to a medium to high speed and begin making overlapping passes. Move polisher over paint using a slow to medium arm speed. Monitor defect removal as you buff. Once paint defects are removed to your satisfaction, stop buffing and remove any excess product using a clean, soft microfiber towel.
Detail Shops/Enthusiasts – Using an orbital polisher
Step 1: Prepare the surface by first washing, drying, and removing any above surface bonded contaminants using detailing clay or a clay substitute.
Step 2: Attach preferred foam, microfiber or wool cutting pad to backing plate on orbital polisher and set speed setting to low or medium.
Step 3: Apply 4-5 dime sized drops of product onto the center of the face of buffing pad. Press the face of the pad against a body panel, turn the polisher on and spread the product over the area to be worked, about 2’ by 2’.
Step 4: After spreading polish over area to be worked - turn polisher to a medium to high speed and begin making overlapping passes. Move polisher over paint using a slow to medium arm speed. Monitor defect removal as you buff. Once paint defects are removed to your satisfaction, stop buffing and remove any excess product using a clean, soft microfiber towel.
