Aqua Buff 1000 Coarse Cut Buffing Compound

Aqua Buff 1000 is the first step in the environmentally friendly 2 part process for compounding and polishing, which is primarily used as a fast cut to remove deeper scratches, swirls and moderate to heavy gelcoat oxidation. 

Product Highlights:

  • Aqua Buff is made from tallows and natural grits, mixed with water for easy use and is environmentally friendly.
  • Aqua-Buff 1000-F is a fast-cut compound used for aggressive removal of sanding scratches or oxidation
  • The Aqua Buff products do not contain solvents, waxes or polymers. 
  • Pair with Aqua Buff 2000 for a high gloss finish.

Instructions:

  1. Be sure to use a Wool Buffing pad for the Aqua Buff 1000. The Aqua Buff 2000, however, will take a foam polishing pad.
  2. Dab on an amount similar to a poker chip (about 3 cm across) for each square foot (30 cm) to be polished.
  3. Add water by spraying a mist onto the part with a spray bottle. The buffing pad captures the compound/polish, and the water. When the part appears dry, add more water with the spray bottle. As long as a milky liquid appears when the pad captures the water, additional polish is not needed.
  4. A benefit of Aqua Buff is that the sprayed water helps keep the surface cool during buffing. Heat can cause distortion to appear in the surface.
  5. A 2400 rpm commercial buffer is recommended. Wiping by hand will not create the necessary speed and energy to buff. Compound at full speed, polish at half speed.
  6. After buffing, wash the surface with soapy water to remove any leftover polish.
  7. Sandpaper grit: a common question is- what final grit of sandpaper do I need to use? The answer will depend on the hardness of the surface (harder requires a finer grit) and the quality of the surface required. For most gelcoats, a final grit of at least 800 is recommended.

  1. Charlie Norris

    “I love fiberglass coatings. They have great products and excellent advice. I'm trying to open a boat repair shop in St . Mary's, GA and my supply WILL come from fiberglass coatings. When I lived in the Fl. Keys for 36 years and worked for a towing and salvage Co for 15 years all our supplies came from Fiberglass coatings. Great service and never were disappointed. Keep up the great job everyone.”

    “Been working on a skiff project and using all FGCI products. They came highly recommended by my friends who are boat builders. It is the highest quality resins, glass, and gelcoat for the money. They made it really easy for a newer person to boat building. The customer service is phenomenal and they are always knowledgeable and ready to help with any questions I had.”
