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.

Reviews
Easily Our Favorite Starke Product
"Elevate is hands down my favorite product in the entire Starke lineup. Whether we’re running it on a yellow wool pad with the rotary or using a Purple Haze or Money Pad on the DA, this stuff delivers every single time. The cutting ability paired with the incredible finish and gloss it leaves behind is honestly a game changer. It’s even become one of our favorites on automotive paint when we need a little more bite than some traditional automotive polishes offer. Such a versatile product that works in so many different situations. Overall my favorite Starke product and an absolute staple in our inventory!"

Great Product, Even better support
"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."

Starke Elevate after Starke Level R
"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!"

Detailing Motorhome
"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."
