"Pseudo-cutting" refers to products containing suspending agents and oil-based fillers that temporarily mask fine lines. They give an illusion of shine without actually removing the defects.

Once washed, these fillers are stripped away, and the original scratches reappear. In contrast, "True Cutting" abrasives consistently remove scratches, oxidation, and imperfections. The resulting brilliance comes from a perfectly leveled surface reflecting light—not from oily concealment.

ALOMAX features a water-based, filler-free formula that truly restores the paint finish. This is our most direct proof of quality.

Our message is simple: While fillers hide problems, ALOMAX solves them—without concealment, and without compromising brilliance. We don’t just explain the difference; we deliver professional results you can trust.
