Maximum Cutting Power
Built to handle the worst paint has to offer
PC 5000 carries a high concentration of abrasive grain specifically to deal with extremely weathered paint, deep scratches and P1500-grit sanding marks. When the damage is too severe for a standard cutting compound, this is where you start.
Why PC 5000
Engineered for coarse correction
Four reasons professional detailers reach for PC 5000 at the start of a heavy correction.
-
Aggressive Abrasive Load
High abrasive grain content delivers fast, maximum grinding performance on heavily weathered paint.
-
P1500 Scratch Removal
Reliably removes deep scratches and sanding marks from P1500 grit size in a single working stage.
-
Solvent and Silicone Free
Pure water-based formula - no fillers, no silicone contamination, just honest abrasive cut.
-
Broad Paint Compatibility
Safe on all fresh and fully cured lacquers, so it works across OEM, repainted and newly sprayed panels.
PC 5000 vs Generic Compound
How PC 5000 stacks up against a standard cutting compound
Most cutting compounds are formulated for moderate correction. PC 5000 is built for the heavy end - the work that happens before you reach for a standard cut polish.

Clean, Professional Formula
No solvents. No silicones. No shortcuts.
A pure water-based formula means PC 5000 works honestly - it cuts through abrasion, not fillers, so the correction you see on the panel is real. Safe on fresh and cured lacquers and silicone-free throughout, it fits straight into any professional correction workflow without contamination concerns.

Questions
Frequently asked
What type of compound is the PC 5000 and when should I use it?
The PC 5000 is a coarse pre-cut abrasive compound, the first step in a multi-stage correction process. Use it when paint is extremely weathered or carries deep scratches and sanding marks from P1500 grit or coarser. It is not a finishing polish - it is designed to remove heavy damage before you refine with a follow-up compound like the Zvizzer HC 4000.
What grit sanding marks can the PC 5000 remove?
PC 5000 is formulated to reliably remove scratches and sanding marks from grit size P1500. For finer sanding marks you would move directly to a less aggressive compound in the Zvizzer range.
Which machine and pad combination gives the best results?
Zvizzer recommends very hard polishing sponges for maximum performance with PC 5000. It can be used on a dual-action or rotary polisher. For the deepest correction and fastest cut, a rotary with a hard cutting pad is the typical professional choice at this stage of the process.
Is PC 5000 safe to use on freshly painted panels?
Yes. PC 5000 is compatible with both fresh and fully hardened lacquers, so it can be used on newly painted surfaces as well as fully cured OEM and aftermarket finishes.
Does PC 5000 contain solvents or silicones?
No. The PC 5000 is a pure water-based formula, completely free of solvents and silicones. This makes it suitable for use in bodyshop environments where silicone contamination is a concern and means it will not mask defects with fillers.
What product should I follow up with after using PC 5000?
Zvizzer specifically recommends the HC 4000 Heavy Cut sanding polish as the next step after PC 5000. The PC 5000 removes the deep damage, and the HC 4000 then refines the surface to a point where final finishing polishes can bring the paint to a gloss-ready state.
Can I use PC 5000 on glass, wheels or plastic trim?
PC 5000 is described as a paint pre-compound designed for lacquered surfaces. It is not intended for use on glass, bare metal, wheels or plastic trim. Keep use to clear-coated and lacquered paint panels where full correction is required.
How does PC 5000 fit into a full correction detail?
PC 5000 is stage one of a multi-step correction process. After decon and any wet-sanding, apply PC 5000 with a hard pad to remove the deepest defects. Follow with HC 4000 to refine the haze left by the coarse abrasive, then move to a medium or fine finishing polish to restore clarity and gloss before any sealant or coating is applied.
