Star brite Liquid Rubbing Compound 81316, 16 oz Medium Duty Oxidation and Scratch Remover for Fiberglass and Painted Surfaces
Star brite Liquid Rubbing Compound 81316, 16 oz Medium Duty Oxidation and Scratch Remover for Fiberglass and Painted Surfaces
Star brite Liquid Rubbing Compound (part number 81316) is a medium-duty restoration formula that removes light to medium oxidation, scratches, and other surface imperfections from fiberglass, metal, and painted surfaces. The liquid formula smooths and prepares the surface for polishing, restoring a clean, uniform finish before a protective polish is applied. Because all rubbing compounds are abrasive by nature, it is recommended to test a small, inconspicuous area first to confirm the desired result before treating the full surface.
The compound is designed for hassle-free application by hand or with a buffer, going on smoothly and cleaning up without hardening, which makes the restoration process more efficient. It uses a medium grit formula (grit number 80) with metal grit material to cut through oxidation without being overly aggressive, and it may require multiple applications to achieve a fully restored finish on heavily oxidized surfaces. Star brite Liquid Rubbing Compound 81316 comes in a 16 ounce bottle, sized for convenient handling during boat, RV, automotive, and painted-surface detailing projects. Follow the included step-by-step directions for application, drying, and buffing for the best, most uniform result.
