Product Information

The Finer Points of Compounding

Part of the Paint Finishing System, the 3M™ Paste Rubbing Compound is designed for removing fine scratches left during the color sanding process with minimal compound swirl marks. This fast cutting paste applies easily with a polisher and a 3M™ compounding pad. This paste rubbing compound removes 1200, 1500 and 2000 grit sand scratches on automotive clear coats for a professional high gloss finish. For the fastest cut, use a wool pad like 3M™ Wool Compounding Pad PN05711. For a finer finish, use a foam pad like 3M™ Foam Compounding Pad PN05723.

Paint Finishing System

3M developed this system to produce showroom grade finishes with deep color and rich gloss. This system uses a progressive series of abrasives, buffing pads, and proprietary polishes across the repair. The stages consist of sanding, scratch refinement, compounding, machine polishing, and swirl elimination. The level of work and stages needed for paint repair depend on the severity of the paint imperfection and 3M™ provides an effective solution for any level of clear coat and paint repair.
