3M^™ Perfect-It^™ III Paint Finishing System 

The newly formulated 3M Perfect-It III paint finishing system incorporates a more aggressive rubbing compound that provides the needed cut with less material to cut through the harder clear coats, without filling, to remove sand scratches and imperfections.

"Our new paint finishing system gives RV manufacturers the ability to offer the same level of quality as automotive manufacturers of luxury cars when it comes to finishing high-gloss, full body paint," says Greg Klausen, Technical Service Specialist.

The easy four-step Perfect-It III system is fast and results in a finer finish, whether wet or dry sanding. Step One - Sanding to remove orange peel, paint runs and nibs; Step Two - Buffing to remove sand scratches; Step Three - Machine Glazing to remove swirl marks; and Step Four - Finish Glazing to provide paint protections.
