Product Uses

Developed for paint finishing of automotive clear coat surfaces,

light industrial clear coat surfaces, marine gelcoat and paint

finishes.

For professional use only. Not intended for retail sale.

Directions for Use

1. Clean the area to be sanded with soap and water. Followed

by paint company recommended wax and grease remover.

2. Level out dirt nibs/defects/texture over large or small areas

using one of the following:

a. 3M™ Trizact™ Clearcoat Sanding Discs P1500

b. 3M™ Purple Finishing Film P1500 or P2000

c. 3M™ Wetordry™ Abrasive Sheet 1500 or 2000

3. Wipe off area with a clean cloth. Do not move onto the next

step before wiping off the swarf/dust.

4. Scratch Refinement Trizact™ 3000 – Reduces buffing time

by up to 75%.

Using a spray bottle, apply enough water to dampen the

3M™ Trizact™ 3000 before sanding the panel. Damp

sand the area to refine the scratches left from the

previous step. This will take about 4-6 passes to ensure

you get all the previous scratches out. Trizact™ abrasives

work best with high throw/stroke D/A sanders.

Recommendation is to use an orbit of 3/16” (5mm) or

more to get the optimum performance out of Trizact

abrasives. You will know the disc is cutting when the

surface appears foamy. When necessary re-dampen the

disc with water from a spray bottle to retain the foamy

appearance. Note: The 3M™ Trizact™ can be used with

or without an interface pad. Preferred usage is with the

interface pad because it is more effective on curves,

contours, edges, and minimizes a technician’s chance of

burning through the paint.

5. Wipe off area with a clean cloth while surface is still damp to

limit the amount of dust that gets into the air. Do not move

onto the next step before wiping off the Trizact™ 3000

swarf/dust.
