A water-based finishing polish that clears holograms, halos and fine swirls after a sanding step and builds up deep gloss. It's not a heavy cutter for deep scratches and won't replace a cutting compound.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZviZZer FC 2000 Fine Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e is a water-based finishing polish from ZviZZer, marked Yellow in the five-stage colour system. Its self-breaking aluminium-oxide abrasive refines as you polish and pulls out the holograms and sanding marks a previous cutting compound leaves behind. It's silicone- and solvent-free, works on all paints including scratch-resistant and fresh clearcoats, and is made in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHologram-free gloss as the last step.\u003c\/strong\u003e The FC 2000 clears the fine swirls and halos left in the paint after cutting and the machine, and builds deep gloss. You finish one side of a daily driver in about 20 to 30 minutes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo sizes for two depths of work.\u003c\/strong\u003e The 250 ml bottle covers roughly 6 to 10 finishing passes on a mid-size car, the 750 ml bottle the full season.

It runs best on the dual-action at about 1,000 to 1,600 rpm and medium pressure, without putting fresh sanding marks back in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDay-to-day from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e The most common mistake with a finishing polish is treating it like a cutting compound and trying to chase scratches out with it. The FC 2000 barely cuts, it refines. If you can feel the defect with your fingernail, you hit it with a cutting compound first and lay the FC 2000 on top only after that. On a black 2026 paint, a single finishing pass at about 1,600 rpm got us a mirror-flat gloss where the attempt without sanding first only pushed the matte haze around.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpread at 1,000 work it at 1,600 to high gloss\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou spread the FC 2000 pea-sized at about 1,000 rpm across the section, then work it at around 1,600 rpm and medium pressure until the polishing film goes clear and a rich high gloss stands up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt needs an already corrected surface: the paint has been washed, decontaminated and cleared of coarse scratches with a cutting compound. Work in sections of about 40 by 40 centimetres. The soft yellow pad is colour-matched to the FC 2000; a hard foam grade has no place under a finishing polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the pad clean: knock the polishing dust out after two or three sections or switch to a fresh pad. A clogged pad smears and stops building gloss. Because the FC 2000 is water-based, it flashes off faster above 25 degrees paint temperature, so you work smaller sections rather than more product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHolograms yes deep scratches no\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FC 2000 reliably clears holograms, halos and fine swirls, but for deep scratches you can clearly feel with your fingernail, a finishing polish is the wrong stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts home turf is the last pass: it pulls out exactly the machine marks a strong cutting compound leaves in the paint, and turns a corrected but hazy finish into clear depth. On dark paints, where every sanding mark shows, this finishing step is the difference between clean and mirror-flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe limits are clear: if deep scratches are in play, go with the stronger \u003ca href=\"\/products\/zvizzer-hc-4000-heavy-cut-rot-schleifpolitur\"\u003ecutting compound\u003c\/a\u003e first and only then the FC 2000 as the finish. If you want the last percent of depth on very soft or dark paints, lay a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/zvizzer-uc-1000-ultrafine-cut-gruen-finish-politur\"\u003efinishing polish\u003c\/a\u003e of the finest grade on top after the FC 2000. The FC 2000 won't replace a cutting compound and won't pull out scratches it doesn't have the grit for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor the clean finish not for heavy correction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FC 2000 is the right call when you want to set the hologram-free finish after sanding and you're after a result that holds up even on black paint under raking light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's less suited to two cases: correcting deep scratches, where the cut isn't there, and quick one-step prep, for which a one-step polish is the better choice. If you regularly need both, you're better off with the staged ZviZZer system of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/politur\"\u003ecutting and finishing polish\u003c\/a\u003e than with a single stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the workflow, the sealant comes after the finish. Because the FC 2000 works silicone- and solvent-free, it hides nothing, so you don't have to specially de-oil the paint before coating; a splash of isopropanol for a check is enough. This wipe-down is exactly what most people skip, and that's why a supposedly perfect gloss suddenly shows holograms again after the first wash, the ones the polishing oil was only covering up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZviZZer","offers":[{"title":"250 ml \/ Einzeln","offer_id":57867546886479,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-ST00025010FC","price":24.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"750 ml \/ Einzeln","offer_id":57867546919247,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-ST00075010FC","price":62.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 ml \/ 3er-Set","offer_id":57882248184143,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-ST00025010FC_3","price":73.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"250 ml \/ 10er-Set","offer_id":57882248216911,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-ST00025010FC_10","price":244.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"750 ml \/ 3er-Set","offer_id":57882248249679,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-ST00075010FC_3","price":187.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"750 ml \/ 10er-Set","offer_id":57882248282447,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-ST00075010FC_10","price":625.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/zvizzer-fc-2000-fine-cut-gelb-finish-politur.png?v=1781632341","url":"https:\/\/detiiling1.com\/products\/zvizzer-fc-2000-fine-cut-gelb-finish-politur","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
