Re-Po Automotive Polish and Surface Care
Re-Po is an Australian automotive polish and surface care brand, supplying compounds, polishes and surface treatments to the professional and DIY automotive market through AIMS Industrial. The range is built for panel shop paint finishing, fleet vehicle upkeep and everyday detailing, where a straightforward product that does the job is the priority.
The Re-Po range at AIMS
- Cutting compound — Re-Po Cutting Compound 300g removes deeper paint defects, heavy oxidation and overspray after spray application, ahead of polishing
- Cream polishes — Re-Po Auto Cream Polish 250g and Re-Po Extra Cut Cream Polish 250g refine the finish after cutting, removing lighter scratches and restoring gloss
- Liquid polish and cleaner — Re-Po Liquid Polish 450ml and Re-Po Auto Polish and Cleaner 375ml suit hand application for routine maintenance shine and light oxidation removal
- Chrome and trim — Re-Po Kromebrite Liquid Chrome Enamel 400g is a liquid chrome-effect enamel for restoring bright metal trim
- Spot correction — Re-Po Paint Doctor 260g is a spot-treatment compound for isolated paint blemishes and defects
Selection guidance
Work from coarser to finer products: compound first for defect removal, then a cream or liquid polish for gloss, then a wax or sealant for protection (see car cleaning & appearance for wax and sealant options). Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first, particularly on unfamiliar paint systems or older, thinner clear coats.
Where the Re-Po range is used
Panel shops use the range for finishing after spray application and correcting minor paint defects before handover. Fleet operators use the cream and liquid polishes for scheduled vehicle presentation and appearance upkeep. Detailers and everyday owners use the same compounds and polishes for DIY paint correction and maintenance shine.
Handling
As with any solvent-based automotive chemical, work in a ventilated area, avoid applying to hot panels in direct sun, and check the product SDS before use.
Companion ranges
The Re-Po range sits alongside AIMS's broader car cleaning & appearance range — wash chemistry, wax and sealants, wheel and tyre care — and our polishing compounds range for engineering and metal-finishing polishing outside the automotive line. For lubricants, filters and maintenance chemicals across a vehicle or fleet, see fleet & vehicle maintenance.

People Also Ask — Re-Po Automotive Polish & Surface Care
Q: What's the difference between Re-Po Cutting Compound and a cream polish?
Cutting compound is the coarser first stage — it removes deeper paint defects, heavy oxidation and overspray. Cream polish is a finer second stage, used afterward to remove lighter scratches and bring back gloss. Run compound before polish, not the other way around.
Q: Is Re-Po Kromebrite Liquid Chrome Enamel the same as a chrome polish?
No — Kromebrite is a liquid chrome-effect enamel, applied to restore the look of bright metal trim, rather than a polish for buffing up existing chrome or stainless. If you're polishing existing chrome or stainless rather than re-coating it, a polishing compound is the right product instead.
Q: What is Re-Po Paint Doctor used for?
Re-Po Paint Doctor 260g is a spot-treatment compound for isolated paint blemishes and defects, rather than a full-panel cutting compound or polish.
Q: Can I use Re-Po products for DIY car detailing, or are they only for panel shops?
Both. The same compounds and polishes used in panel shop finishing and fleet presentation work equally well for DIY paint correction and maintenance shine at home.
Q: Do Re-Po polishes need any special handling?
As with any solvent-based automotive chemical, work in a ventilated area, avoid applying to hot panels in direct sun, and check the product SDS before use.
