ACA Flex P1500 Orange Sandpaper Disc - Box of 50

From £32.99

Removing orange peel has never been so fast and easy!

Save hours of sanding time and labor by machine sanding while leaving behind a shallow, uniform sanding mark pattern. Removing orange peel over a single body panel or an entire vehicle is fast with the 3D Flex Sanding Discs.

The secret is in the Alpha Ceramic Alumina abrasive technology created by 3DProducts.com. The particle size, shape, hardness, and cut are all engineered and controlled to create a long-lasting sanding disc that cuts fast while leaving a shallow, uniform sanding mark that buffs out fast and easy.

When machine sanding to remove orange peel, surface texture and other paint defects machine sanding with the 3D ACA – Alpha Ceramic Alumina Flex Sanding Discs are safe, fast, and highly efficient.

What is it?

Thin sanding discs for use on an orbital sander.

What does it do?

Quickly and efficiently levels orange peel and other surface texture to create a flatter, more uniform surface ready for compounding.

When do you use it?

On fresh custom paint work to create a show car finish or match factory orange peel.

Why use 3D Flex Sanding Discs over other options?

Great question as there are other options on the market. There are a number of key features and benefits that make our sanding discs a better choice and a better value. First the abrasive technology is our own, we made or invented it from scratch including converting the original raw materials into modified raw materials. So no one else has access to the same abrasive grain technology. The abrasives are engineered from raw materials to finished product. The key aspect of having this much control is our ability to determine the size, shape, hardness, cut ability and breakdown time.

The abrasives are then attached to the thin film using a process that ensure uniform placement over the entire disc. By controlling the particle size and placement we control the depth of the sanding marks and the pattern of the sanding marks. The results are a sanding mark pattern that is shallow in depth and even over the entire surface. This not only means the sanding marks buff out faster and easier it also means you leave more paint on the surface and keep buffing temperature lower.

Our proprietary anti-clogging technology prevents the “cementing” of paint particles onto the face of the sanding disc and this means more cutting with less risk of pigtails. Of course you must clean the face of the disc often, but any paint particles remove easily instead of impaction onto the disc in a way they are difficult if not impossible to remove. In real world testing on average paint hardness, you can expect to use one disc to sand one body panel. There are exceptions to both extremes, on some paint you may get less than a panel, (really hard paint with excess orange peel), or two body panels for softer paint less orange peel. Because topcoat hardness is always an unknown variable, we don’t make specific claims but let the overall performance of our products do the talking.

Flat Micro Hook Interface Pad - 2 Pack

From £22.99

Maximize leveling of orange peel or surface texture!

The 3D Interface Pads are designed specifically for the 3D ACA Flex Sanding Discs. The 3D interface pad offers the perfect balance of medium density foam rubber to smooth out the oscillating action while maintaining a flat surface to efficiently sand only the high point until they are level with the low points on the surface.

The hooks used for the sanding disc side are flat-style micro-hooks. They offer excellent attachment strength while virtually eliminating any horizontal torsional movement between the sanding disc and the interface pad. The flat-style micro-hooks keeps the face of the sanding disc damn near flat against the surface. This means there's simply no "wiggle" between the interface pad and the sanding disc, which transfers the oscillating action of the sander to the surface of the paint without variation. The results are a dramatically flatter sanding action to keep the sanding where you want it – on the high points on the surface.

Non-3D interface pads will decrease sanding disc performance and increase the risk for pigtails.

Thick or soft foam interface pads or using the wrong style hook like conventional long J-hooks style, cause the sanding disc to abrade the high points and the low points at the same time so you’re never truly leveling the high points but instead sanding down or taking down the entire surface equally. This wastes perfectly good paint and also wastes time.

The 3D interface pad enables the face of the sanding disc to abrade only the highest points so you can remove only the orange peel while leaving more of the lower-level paint on the surface.

Don’t get caught in the misconception that all hook-n-loop styles are the same – they are not. The 3D Flex Sanding Discs are tuned and optimized for the 3D Interface pad. The last place you want to skimp or cut corners is when sanding the paint on your own car or a customer car.

What is it?

Semi-flexible foam interface pad with flat micro hooks on other sanding disc side for more precise cutting action. Uses Alpha Ceramic Alumina for abrasive technology, abrasive grains are uniform in size and placement over the face of the disc with a controlled cutting and breakdown rate. Anti-clogging technology helps surface to avoid cementing of the paint dust to surface of disc.

What does it do?

Maintains a flat surface between the face of the sanding disc and the paint surface when sanding flat and curved body panels. Reduces the risk for pig tails.

When do you use it?

Anytime you want to remove orange peel or other surface texture to create a more perfect finish.

Why use 3D Interface Pads over other options?

3D sanding discs are thin, so they keep the leveling focus on the high points of orange peel for maximum leveling efficiency. The Alpha Ceramic Alumina abrasive technology are engineered abrasives that are uniform in size, shape, hardness, cutting, and breakdown for smooth, long-lasting cutting on any dual action sander. The uniform size and placement mean a more uniform and shallow sanding mark pattern that buffs out fast while leaving more paint on the car.

Don’t skimp when it comes to towels

Much of the focus for any detailing project is usually placed on products and of course this is important. But the quality of your microfiber towels are just as important. And, when it comes to your car’s paint it’s actually more important. Why? Because everything that touches your car’s finish MUST be clean, soft, and uncontaminated. It takes hours to perform paint correction and only seconds to put scratches back into the paint. Avoid the risk and make sure you have plenty of clean, soft, uncontaminated microfibre towels in your detailing arsenal to keep your car’s finish swirls and scratch-free.

It's also vitally important to have clean laundry hampers or storage containers to store dirty microfibre towels until you’re ready to do your microfibre laundry as well as a clean place to store your microfibre towels after they come out of the dryer and are inspected and folded for future use.

The most common root cause for swirls and scratches in your car’s finish comes from the things that touch the paint and for must of us this means the wash mitts, microfibre towels and drying towels. If you don’t already have a process in place to take care of your microfiber tools – start today. It’s much easier and faster to avoid swirls and scratches because your microfibre towels are clean, soft, plush, and uncontaminated than it does to machine compound and polish your car.

What does it do?

3D microfibre towels safely remove waxes and sealants off car paint more effectively than conventional options like cotton terrycloth bath towels, t-shirts, diapers, and cheesecloth.
