How to Use Pure Cut (with Ethos Pads)

  1. Pad & Machine

    • Start with the least aggressive pad that achieves your goal (see chart).

    • DA speeds: 3–5. Rotary: 600–1200 RPM on most paints.

  2. Prime & Load

    • Microfiber: Light face prime the fibers, then add 3–4 pea-size drops.

    • Foam: Apply 3–4 pea-size drops spaced on the pad.

  3. Work a 2' × 2' Section

    • Spread product, then make slow, overlapping passes with moderate pressure for 2–3 passes.

    • Keep the pad flat; maintain steady pad rotation (DA).

  4. Refine the Pass

    • Clean the pad on the fly (pad brush/air), reload with 2–3 drops, then make a final no-pressure pass to improve clarity.

  5. Wipe & Inspect

    • Remove residue with a clean microfiber. Check under proper lighting.

    • If faint haze remains, step down to Perfect Polish + Orange Polishing Pad (or Black Finishing Pad on soft/dark paints).

Pro Tips: Work on cool panels; don’t overload the pad; clean pads every 1–2 sections for consistent cut and finish.

FAQ

It removes heavy paint defects — sanding marks, oxidation, and deep swirls — that polish alone can't touch.

Yes for a show finish. Pure Cut finishes cleaner than most compounds, but Perfect Polish removes any remaining haze.

Microfiber or wool for maximum cut, foam for lighter correction.

Yes. Works with both DA and rotary machines.

No. The water-based formula is low-dust with an easy wipe-off.
