Elevate is the Step 2 Refine compound in the STARKE Surface Restore System, designed to pick up exactly where Level-R leaves off. After Level-R corrects oxidation in Step 1, Elevate removes the resulting scratches and swirls and leaves the surface perfectly prepped for Step 3.
Formulated to remove 1200 to 1500 grit sand scratches, Elevate works on both paint and gelcoat. For best results, follow the system and pair it with a Yellow Wool pad on a rotary polisher. A foamed wool or medium grade foam pad on a random-orbital polisher also works well for detailers who prefer dual action.
From there, follow the system with Finish-R for a standard finish, or Triple P if you're prepping the surface for ceramic coating. Finish with your STARKE Sealant of choice to lock everything in.

"I recently purchased this product along with a few other items. Marine Detal Supply in Ft Myers was more than willing to walk me through the process needed to bring my 2014 boat back to better than shower room condition. Customer service was outstanding and the results are spectaculare."
"Used Elevate in the DA polisher as a follow up to a rotary compounding with Level R to eliminate some fairly light fender-rub scratches on my Grady White Freedom 307 (Seaport blue gel coat. ) Worked great and after the final pass and wipe could clearly see my reflection on the hull side. Love these Starke products!"
"Used with yellow wool and left a nice shine while eliminating white wool swirls."
"Wonderful product, 5 stars to it"
"Proper product to make the job easier"
"I used Starke Elevate Medium Cut Compound followed up with Starke Hyper Hold on my 2021 Newmar Dutch Star. Both products went on easily using a DA buffer with foam pads. Great end result, Elevate removed a small scuff, and Hyper Hold produced a finish that looks wet. Applied in sun and shade with no issues."
"Great assistance in choosing the correct products for detailing my car."
"Excellent product very easy to use!"
"Love elevate"
"Wow what a great finish with the money pad."
