6. Scratch Refinement Trizact™ 8000 – Reduces or Eliminates

the need for Compounding

Using a spray bottle, apply enough water to dampen the

3M™ Trizact™ 8000 before sanding the panel. Damp

sand the area to refine the Trizact™ 3000 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™ discs 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.

7. 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™ 8000

swarf/dust.

8. Buff to remove sand scratches completely.
