What is denibbing?

In automotive manufacturing and refinishing, after a coat of paint or clearcoat has been applied, there is a chance that small imperfections such as dust nibs become embedded in the surface. With careful sanding and polishing of the spot in question, the surface imperfection can be made to disappear, without the need to refinish the entire panel.

Why is the abrasive quality important?

Every sanding step should make the following step easier. With a consistent scratch pattern, the sanded spot is far easier to polish out, making it impossible to see where the imperfection once was.

What do you choose dry sanding?

Our dry sanding system is a breakthrough in super fine sanding and scratch remove technology, results in that allows true topcoat sanding without the use of water.

3D ACA X-TRA COMPOUND AND FINISH

Fast cutting, long buffing cycle, zero dusting and easy wipe-off – what’s not to like? Plus, 3D’s exclusive and even exotic Alpha Ceramic Alumina abrasive technology does not retain heat like conventional abrasive technology. This helps to keep surface temperatures low.Low buffing temperatures are important because unlike the misinformation that floats around the internet, heat is not good for clearcoats. You’re NOT supposed to heat-up clearcoat paint as a part of any buffing process although some people teach this as an approved practice.Besides top-notch product performance, 3D keeps your safety as a top priority when formulating any product including all of our compounds, polishes, and all-in-ones.Here at 3D, we have NEVER used crystalline silica in any of our products and we never will.
