The 3M™ Trizact™ Hookit™ Foam Abrasive Disc 02085 P3000 is an ultra-fine, soft foam-backed abrasive disc designed to refine 1500- and 2000-grit sanding scratches during paint finishing and detailing. It helps reduce overall finishing time by minimizing the need for aggressive compounding (including heavy wool steps) while delivering a more consistent, controlled result.
3M™ Trizact™ Hookit™ Foam Abrasive Disc 02085 – P3000 (152 mm)
The 3M™ Trizact™ Hookit™ Foam Abrasive Disc 02085 P3000 is an ultra-fine, soft foam-backed abrasive disc designed to refine 1500- and 2000-grit sanding scratches during paint finishing and detailing. It helps reduce overall finishing time by minimizing the need for aggressive compounding (including heavy wool steps) while delivering a more consistent, controlled result.
Thanks to the patented 3D Trizact™ microreplicated structures, fresh mineral is continually exposed as the disc wears—providing consistent cut, uniform finishing and long abrasive life. These discs are intended to be used damp, offering the anti-loading benefits of wet sanding without the productivity loss that can occur when power sanding on overly wet surfaces.
The foam backing improves control and maintains consistent contact with the surface, making the disc suitable for both machine and hand applications. As part of the 3M™ Perfect-It™ Paint Finishing System, it can help shorten overall polishing time and reduce the risk of defects caused by more aggressive processes.
Highlights
- Designed to refine 1500- and 2000-grit sand scratches—helping reduce overall finishing time.
- Used damp, it offers long life and less loading than dry sanding.
- Foam backing provides excellent control and consistent contact with the surface.
- Suitable for both machine and hand applications.
- When using a dual-action sander, make at least five passes with 50% overlap.
- Helps reduce the need for aggressive compounding with P3000 paint-finishing refinement.
- Compared to traditional compounding, it can reduce the chance of swirl marks, burn through and other defects caused by aggressive processes.
- Allows technicians to refine scratches using a lighter orbital sander instead of a heavier polisher.
- Available in a variety of sizes and formats (this version: 152 mm disc).
Recommended Use
- Purpose: Refining 1500- and 2000-grit sanding scratches prior to polishing.
- How to use: Use damp (avoid over-wetting).
- Dual-action (DA) sanding: Make at least 5 passes with approximately 50% overlap.
- Curved surfaces: Can be used with a soft interface pad for added conformability.
Tip: After P3000 refinement, polishing is typically faster and you reduce the likelihood of heavy swirls introduced by aggressive compounds.
