Longer Working Time, Easier Cleanup Even in Extreme Conditions

As part of a complete system for creating showroom-grade finishes, 3M Perfect-It EX AC Rubbing Compound is the ideal compound for the critical pre-polishing stage in collision repair. This fast-cutting, fine-finishing compound effectively removes fine grade (P1200 or finer) sand scratches and small surface defects on automotive painted surfaces. It is particularly effective on newer, harder-to-buff clear coat systems. The compound is formulated to provide longer work times, even in extreme conditions, which is especially important in environments with high heat and humidity. Unlike other compounds, it does not become sticky during use or leave behind a powder or film residue that can cause rework. Additionally, it holds firmly onto the compounding pad, reducing mess, waste, and cleanup time associated with sling.

This rubbing compound is available in various quantities, including convenient, job-sized packets, which maximize product use and inventory control. In summary, 3M Perfect-It EX AC Rubbing Compound is the highest-performing rubbing compound offered by 3M, providing better efficiency and lower process times. It ensures defect-free surfaces prior to polishing, resulting in an excellent finish.

An Excellent Finish, Fast

At the core of this specially formulated polish is aluminum oxide, the same mineral used in many top-performing 3M abrasive discs and sheets. In fact, fine grade aluminum oxide abrasive discs are part of the Scratch Refinement stage of the 3M Perfect-It Paint Finishing System, which includes 3M Perfect-It EX AC Rubbing Compound. This rubbing compound cuts quickly and uniformly to remove fine sand scratches and surface defects.

Part of the 3M Perfect-It Paint Finishing System

3M Perfect-It EX AC Rubbing Compound is an integral component of the 3M Perfect-It Paint Finishing System. This system is designed to keep up with evolving paint and clear coat technologies, ensuring the finest finish for every level of clear coat and paint repair. The system utilizes a progressive series of abrasives, buffing and compounding pads, and specially formulated compounds and polishes across four stages of repair to achieve showroom-grade finishes with deep color and rich gloss. 3M Perfect-It EX Rubbing Compound plays a crucial role in the Perfect-It Paint Finishing System, specifically after scratch refinement and before polishing.

To reduce compounding time, 3M recommends using 3M Trizact 3000 and 3M Trizact 5000 grit abrasive discs to refine scratches. The compound should be applied between 1200 and 2000 RPM using a 3M Perfect-It Foam Compounding Pad, PN 05706.
