STARKE Quik Sand — Pre-Step: Aggressive Pre-Cut
Quik Sand is the Pre-Step Aggressive Pre-Cut in the STARKE Surface Restore System, engineered for precision leveling and oxidation removal on gel coat and mold/tooling gel coat surfaces. This step is only necessary when Level-R or Blaze isn't sufficient on its own.
Formulated for professional marine detailers and OEM applications including Mold & Tooling gelcoat, Quik Sand is the fastest way to remove P400 grit sanding scratches while finishing like a P800–P1000 pass, drastically reducing the number of steps in your surface correction process. Use with a White Wool pad on a rotary polisher. From there, follow the system into Step 1 Correct with Level-R or Blaze.
Perfect for prepping oxidized or uneven gel coat before polishing, Quik Sand cuts fast, stays cool, and creates minimal dust, delivering a consistent, clean finish every time.
