For Excellent Results, When Excellent Results Aren't Easy

When it comes to sanding jobs where burning or sanding through clear coat and paint are primary concerns, the 3M™ Wetordry™ Abrasive Sheet 401Q is the perfect solution. It is ideal for leveling minor dust nibs, adjusting mismatched orange peel, and light sanding on acrylic lacquer paint. This product is durable yet flexible, with a sharp cut that leaves a refined finish. The silicon carbide grain is available in grades from 1000 up to 3000 for a full range of non-aggressive sanding and polishing jobs on clear coat, plastic, and metal, including areas that require hand compounding and for sanding dark colored paints.

Choose sheet sizes of 5-1/2 x 9 inches or 9 x 11 inches to suit specific sanding jobs and reduce the need for tearing. The durable paper backing helps create consistent patterns that are easily buffed out.

Light, Smooth, Waterproof Backing

3M™ Wetordry™ products are backed with a durable waterproof paper backing that supports wet and dry applications. The paper backing is lighter weight than cloth and smooth rather than textured, making it preferable for lighter applications such as finishing and paint prep.

However, many such applications produce a significant amount of dust, clogging the abrasive points and creating an inferior work environment. These effects can be minimized by sanding with water to rinse dust away.

3M's Fastest-Cutting Abrasive Mineral

Silicon carbide is a very hard mineral that cuts extremely fast. It is, in fact, the fastest-cutting mineral abrasive that 3M offers. The mineral features sharp points that fracture easily, resulting in freshly exposed sharp edges that produce a smooth, professional-looking finish. Although the mineral has a shorter life, it produces a superior finish.

More Effective Sanding for More Effective Operations

3M™ Wetordry™ Abrasive Sheet 401Q makes the entire sanding process easier, from the durability of each sheet during wet sanding to faster cutting to easier buffing for faster production times and less labor cost. 3M puts plenty of science behind the product to improve your finished work. It is another way that 3M helps auto body professionals get the most from their operations.
