It is an easy-to-use paste type compound developed for plastic models. Uses a soft abrasive with small particles. It has an excellent balance between polishing power and gloss. It is a versatile type that handles everything from polishing the base before painting to polishing after painting and removing scratches on transparent parts. Another feature is that the compound remaining after polishing can be washed away with water.
