All vehicles or anywhere you are desiring paint correction or paint refinishing; ex. Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, Tractors, Boats, Golf Carts, etc. It’s great for inspection repairs/correction as well as professional detailing.

It’s recommended to always use Trizact™ for the quickest and most consistent paint finishing, even on fully cured paint. It also depends on your level of defects and what you’re trying to accomplish. If you have severe defects/corrections needed, then we would recommend our full standard operating procedure. If you are trying to remove very minor scratches, swirl marks, or simply trying to add some shine to your paint, then using just our Random Orbital Polishing tool with our liquids should help you get the job done.

We recommend always using the 15 or 21mm tool with the 3M™ Perfect-It™ Random Orbital Compound and following as needed with the 3M™ Perfect-It™ Random Orbital Polish.

The 3M™ Perfect-It™ Random Orbital Polishing System is a great alternative for spot repair, typically using a 3M™ Purple Finishing Film 1500 or 2000 grit small diameter abrasive followed by Trizact™ 3000. Then finishing with the 3M™ Perfect-It™ Random Orbital Compound provides the quickest, consistent paint finish. To follow our Standard Operating Procedure click here. 

Yes, the 3M™ Perfect-It™ Random Orbital Polishing System is suitable for freshly painted cars since it will not put any swirl marks into the clear coat. And, it works great for cured paint.

Absolutely. If you desire to start with a rotary tool for improved cut, we recommend you use our 3M™ Perfect-It™ EXAC Rubbing Compound which provides excellent cut and was designed for rotary buffing. Finish with the 3M™ Perfect-It™ Random Orbital Polisher and our 3M™ Perfect-It™ Random Orbital Polish for quick and easy swirl elimination.

We do not recommend using any other liquids. We designed our new 3M™ Perfect-It™ Random Orbital Compound, Polish and Pads specifically to be used with our 3M™ Perfect-It™ Random Orbital Polisher. All of our technical validation using other liquids provided lower performance levels.

We would not recommend using 3M™ Perfect-It™ Random Orbital Compound and Polish with a rotary buffer as these liquids were designed specifically to be used with our 3M™ Perfect-It™ Random Orbital Polisher. For rotary buffing, we recommend using our traditional 3M™ Perfect-It™ Paint Finishing System.

The 15mm Random Orbital Polisher is preferred for smaller areas and around body lines while the 21mm Random Orbital Polisher is preferred for larger areas or for whole vehicle detailing.

We recommend using 5-inch (130mm) pads with the 15mm 3M™ Perfect-It™ Random Orbital Polisher and 6-inch (150mm) pads with the 21mm 3M™ Perfect-It™ Random Orbital Polisher. Pads are available in coarse wool, medium wool and foam for compounding and foam only for polishing.

We would recommend running the tool at speed setting 4-6 for compounding, and 2-4 for polishing for optimal performance and comfort.
