Lat 26 Degrees Compound #1 is a marine-grade heavy-duty compound used to remove severe oxidation and damaged surfaces from boat and yacht paint and gelcoat. According to the manufacturer, it can also be used to remove 1500-grit sanding scratches. The compound is part of a multi-step polishing system designed to restore surfaces to like-new condition.
Uses
