Is this Rupes a compound or a polish?



Hey Mike...

Is this a compound or a polish ?...




I read the label and says compound ??..

Or is there a polish by rupes?

Hi Denis,

Good question...

That is an Ultra Fine Cut Polish.

I'm thinking Rupes just uses the word compound in a generic sense but this is the second time I've been asked this question this week.
