3M™ Perfect-It™ EX AC Rubbing Compound is the best-performing 3M rubbing compound for removing P1200+ sand scratches and surface defects before polishing, even on the latest clear coats. It is formulated to perform in all conditions, including high heat and humidity, without sticking to panels or leaving film residue. It delivers a longer working time, yet still reduces sling for easier cleanup.

Reduce polishing time by up to 75% | 3M™ Trizact™ Abrasives

They consist of precisely-shaped three-dimensional pyramids distributed uniformly over the surface of the disc. As these pyramids wear, fresh, sharp mineral is constantly exposed to the workpiece, resulting in faster, more consistent performance cutting throughout the life of the discs.

3M™ Trizact™ Hook-It™ Foam Abrasive Discs are available in three grades:
