Lea Hero (2000D) Cut and Colour Compound
Lea Hero is the APH Industries bar previously sold by Moleroda as 2000D, the green one-operation bar. It combines a medium cut with good colour, so a single bar can remove fine marks and bring up a bright finish.
APH Industries recommends Hero for single-stage work on steels. On stainless steel, from a reasonable starting surface, it gives a good reflective finish in one operation. Use it on a sisal or stitched cotton mop.
Where Hero Fits
| Lea Bar | Role | Cut / Colour |
|---|---|---|
| Hero (2000D) | Single-stage cut and colour on steels | 7 / 7 |
| Brillmax (2755) | Cut and colour, preparation before finishing | 7 / 7 |
| Midas | Cut and colour on non-ferrous metals | 7 / 7 |
| Sunblue | Bright, reflective finishing on steel | 5 / 8 |
| Mirrormax (FF9) | Mirror glossing | 1 / 10 |
Cut and colour are APH Industries’ ratings on a 0–10 scale.
How to Use Hero
- Check the surface: start from a reasonably fine surface; heavy scratches need a cutting compound first.
- Fit the mop: use a sisal mop for more cut or a stitched cotton mop for a brighter finish.
- Load the mop: apply the bar briefly to the running mop, little and often.
- Cut and colour: polish with firm, even pressure until the surface is uniform and bright.
- Finish if needed: for a mirror finish, follow with Sunblue or Mirrormax on a separate mop.
