What is the general difference between marine and auto compounds? Can they be used on automotive clearcoat paints or are they too aggressive? I have some 3M " Marine Compound and Finish Material" #06044 that when rubbed between the fingers doesn't feel any grittier than Meguiars 100 or 105 cutting compound. However, I also have some 3M "Compound and Finishing Material" #36044 and its label says it is for gelcoat. It is VERY gritty in comparison to the others mentioned.
