3M's film-backed defect removal discs for clear coat. The purple coating levels orange peel, dust nibs and runs while greatly reducing pigtails, and the aluminum oxide leaves a consistent, easy-to-polish scratch.

Defect removal before Trizact 3000
Why it works
Fewer pigtails, easier polish
Purple coating. 3M says the updated coating greatly reduces pigtails and boosts abrasive life.
Film backing. A flexible, durable polyester film for conformability and a consistent scratch.
Aluminum oxide. Cuts fast, lasts and resists loading.
Sand dry to find the defects. 3M's Perfect-It process starts with a dry pass of P1500 or P2000 to highlight defects. Then sand out only those spots and match the surrounding texture.
How to use
Defect removal sequence
Mount the disc on a 6 in Hookit pad on a DA sander. A soft interface pad is recommended but not required.
Sand dry with P1500 or P2000 to level nibs, runs or orange peel.
Refine the scratch with Trizact 3000 used damp; 5000 is optional after 3000.
Compound, then polish.
