Part of a Complete System that Eliminates Compounding in Paint Finishing
When used as part of the 3M™ Perfect-It™ 1-Step System, our 3M™ Perfect-it™ Finishing Material makes possible something that collision repair and detailing professionals have always desired: the elimination of compounding from the paint finishing process. Now, you can complete paint finishing jobs faster, increase throughput in collision repair shop or detail department without sacrificing a showroom-quality finish on most vehicles. Fast-cutting, 3M™ Perfect-It™ 1-Step Finishing Material applied immediately after scratch refinement with 3M™ Trizact™ 3000 and 3M™ Trizact™ 8000 Abrasives, and in effect serves as compound and polish in one. It is formulated for longer work times, even in extreme conditions – especially important in places where heat and humidity are common inside or outside of the shop. It won’t become sticky during use or leave a powder or film residue that can cause rework. Yet it holds on the pad, reducing the mess, waste and cleanup time associated with sling.
The 3M™ Perfect-It™ 1-Step System
3M™ Perfect-It™ 1-Step Finishing Material is an integral part of a complete system that eliminates compounding in the paint finishing process. The system includes:

-
3M™ Trizact™ Foam Abrasive Disc (8000 grade). This new abrasive helps bridge the gap between the process and the abrasives for scratch refinement and polish.
-
3M™ Perfect-It™ 1-Step Finishing Material. The material is developed specifically for use with this system.
-
3M™ Perfect-It™ 1-Step Foam Finishing Pad. This buffing pad combines the performance of the 3M™ Perfect-It™ Foam Compounding Pad (white) and the 3M™ Perfect-It™ Ultrafine Foam Polishing Pad (blue).
