3M™ 00127 Finesse-it™ 268L Self-Adhesive Sanding Disc – 9 μm
The 3M™ 00127 Finesse-it™ 268L self-adhesive sanding disc is a professional microfinishing abrasive designed for precise local correction of paint and clear coat defects. The 9 micron grade is especially suitable for removing small surface imperfections, dust nibs, minor clear coat irregularities and for creating a fine sanding pattern before polishing.
The 268L film-backed construction provides more accurate and consistent sanding compared to conventional paper-backed abrasives. Its micron-graded aluminum oxide abrasive delivers controlled cutting action and a uniform scratch pattern that can be refined and polished back to gloss with the correct polishing process.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive backing allows quick attachment to a compatible hand sanding pad. The disc can be used wet or dry, making it ideal for automotive refinishing, spot repair, clear coat correction and precision surface preparation before polishing.

Usage recommendation
Attach the sanding disc to a clean, correctly sized hand pad and sand the defect using light pressure and controlled movements. The aim is not aggressive material removal, but precise leveling of small surface imperfections.
When used wet, water helps produce a cleaner scratch pattern and reduces clogging. The 9 μm sanding marks can be refined and polished back to gloss using a suitable polishing compound and pad. On fresh, thin or sensitive clear coat layers, a careful test area is always recommended before full use.
