3M’s Expanding Product Range

Rotary compounding and polishing processes in final stages of paint rectification inevitably leave fine circular scratches in the surface of the vehicle paint finish.

These circular swirl marks may also be further highlighted in good lighting (e.g. sunshine) as "hologram" diffraction patterns. These are often only covered up by final polishes or wax products or rectified with additional lengthy processing with a dual-action (DA) machine.

3M™ Perfect-it™ III Ultrafina™ SE Polish is designed to remove all swirls and holograms using standard electric or air-powered rotary polishing machines (1000-2500 rpm). The polish is used in conjunction with a new ultra-soft 3M™ Ultrafina™ SE High Gloss Polishing Pad for excellent, fast results after standard machine compounding and polishing processes. For a final wipe clean, the new 3M™ Ultrafina™ Polishing Cloth 50400 helps achieve the ultimate swirl and hologram-free, high gloss finish.
