Farecla Paint Compounds
Farécla Paint Compounds: Decades of Surface Finishing Expertise
Farécla has been synonymous with professional paint correction since 1952. The brand name itself — derived from French words meaning "shining" and "bright" — signals exactly what these compounds are engineered to achieve. Paint compounds sit at the very heart of what Farécla does, and over seven decades the brand has built product lines that span every stage of the compounding process, from heavy-cut defect removal through to swirl-free mirror finishes.
The G3 Range: A Bodyshop Legend
The G3 lineup is Farécla's flagship automotive refinishing series. It spans paste and liquid formats, each matched to a specific paint technology. G3 Paste is engineered for medium-solids paint systems, while G3 Liquid targets high-solids modern clearcoats — an important distinction that ensures the abrasive chemistry is always matched to the substrate. The G3 Premium Liquid Abrasive Compound removes P1500 or finer sanding marks from all modern paint systems, and its transparent formula allows clear visibility of the work area during compounding for precise results. For professionals wanting a single-product solution, G3 Advanced Liquid Compound delivers fast cutting action and a high-gloss finish in one step. At the lighter end of the spectrum, the G3 Fine Finishing Compound rapidly removes P3000 and finer sanding marks and restores gloss on lightly oxidised paint, making it especially effective on dark colours.
G360 Super Fast Compound: Next-Generation Cutting Technology
Farécla's most technologically advanced paint compound, the G360 Super Fast Compound, represents a breakthrough in cutting efficiency. Its unique abrasive technology allows it to polish the latest clearcoats starting from P1500 grit — faster than competing approaches that require sanding all the way to P3000 before polishing. The system was developed to eliminate the need for expensive P3000 grit sanding discs entirely, saving bodyshops significant time and cost per job.
Profile Range: For Marine, Industrial & Specialist Surfaces
Beyond automotive refinishing, Farécla's Profile range extends paint compounding expertise to gelcoat, resin, composite and lacquered wood surfaces. The series runs from Profile 100 EXTRA Heavy Cut Paste — a coarse, aggressive water-based compound known as "liquid sandpaper" for tough resins and gelcoats — all the way through to Profile 350 PREMIUM Liquid for restoring gel coat surfaces to a high-gloss finish. Profile 400 ADVANCED PLUS targets P1500 sanding marks across paint, lacquer, acrylic, plexiglass and gelcoat surfaces, while Profile 700 FINISH Light Cut Polish and Swirl Remover delivers a mirror-shine result on the final pass. Every compound in the Profile range is formulated to address specific cut grades and surface types, removing guesswork from the professional's workflow.
Filler-Free, Silicone-Free Formulations
One of the most respected qualities of Farécla paint compounds across both the G3 and Profile ranges is what they leave out. Farécla uses no fillers in its high-performance formulas, meaning gloss results are genuine and durable — unaffected by exposure to water, heat, or other environmental elements. The silicone-free formulations are a critical advantage in bodyshop environments, where silicone contamination can compromise subsequent paint adhesion.
Whether you are a collision repair technician, a detailing professional, or a marine composites specialist, Farécla's paint compounds offer a clearly structured, rigorously engineered path from sanding marks to showroom-quality finish.
