The Specialised Formula

The specialised formula stays wet for longer with less mess saving you time and energy. This formula also reduces the need for reapplication saving you product and in turn money. It becomes especially important in places where heat and humidity are common inside or outside the shop or garage. The polish will also hold better than the average polish on the pads to reduce sling, mess and waste while cleanup time is quick and easy as it just wipes off. The result you get is a smooth, polished surface without compound swirl marks in less time, and at less cost. An all-round excellent finish.

It’s material cost efficiency, lower process times and refined, swirl-free finishes after compounding are what makes the 3M polish their highest performing.

The Superior Quality

The superior quality of this polish has aluminum oxide at its heart. The same mineral abrasive used in many of 3M’s top-performing abrasive discs and sheets. Its abrasiveness of the aluminium oxide works by cutting quickly and uniformly in a very fine grade to remove swirl marks and tiny sand scratches. Developed to keep pace with evolving paint and clear coat technologies, the polish is ideal for when the finest finish is required for every level of clear coat and paint repair. If you are wanting the best, compound swirl-free finish on all colors, 3M recommends using this product with the 3M Perfect-It™ Quick Connect Foam Polishing Pads (05707 or 33285).
