Paint Correction

From £14.99

A Hybrid Cutting Compound & Finishing Polish

Paint correction is one of the least desirable steps when it comes to doing a full exterior detail job. The reason why is because most compounds and polishes are a pain to work with. This includes how the feel while buffing, they dry up and start creating dust, if you work them too long, they become sticky like glue and then wipe of is both frustrating, difficult, time consuming and tiring. Plus, you need more towels to do the job safely.

3D ONE is like no other compound or polish you’ve ever used, and you’ll find this out the first time you use it. 3D ONE cuts like a compound and finishes out like a fine cut polish. Other companies have tried to create a product like 3D ONE in the past, but no one even comes close to 3D ONE. To change the cut simply change the pad or tool. That’s right, change the tool. For super aggressive cut, use 3D ONE with a rotary polisher and a traditional 4-ply, twisted wool cutting pad. For less cut, use any orbital polisher with either a fiber pad or a foam cutting pad. For polishing and show car finishing work, switch to your favorite orbital polisher and a soft foam polishing of even softer foam finishing pad.

Unlike any other compound or polish you’ve ever used, to experience the forever buffing cycle is incredible. This product will simply NOT dry-up on you. As long as you buff the product will stay wet on the surface and continue to cut or polish. Everyone I’ve ever met hates it when any product becomes dusty while they buff or when it’s time to wipe-off the residue. Never happens. Never.

The wipe-off is smooth and fluid. The product lubricates the surface as you wipe so not only is wiping off easy there’s virtually zero risk for wiping induced towel marring. Unheard of when it comes to compounds and polishes.

While it’s always a good best practice to wipe off any paint care products during the job, one time I was compounding a Corvette and an emergency came up. I had to leave the shop. I dreaded coming in the next day. I fully expected the 3D ONE residue covering the entire car to wipe-off like concrete. To my complete and joyful surprise, it wiped off just as easy as if I had just finished buffing. In fact, it may have wiped off easier! The point being – this product wipes off easy and this simply is not the case with most products on the market today. And when a product is difficult to wipe off this not only increases the risk for put wiping scratches back into the paint (you just invested hours buffing to perfection), but it will also tire you out and take all the fun out your work.

Get a bottle – see for yourself what you read above is true and accurate. 3D ONE will become you new go-to favorite compound/polish.

What is it? - Combination 2-in-1 product – it is a compound/polish. Cuts like a compound and finishes like a polish.

Uses 3D’s proprietary alpha ceramic alumina abrasive technology. Alumina Oxide is a conductor of heat. Ceramic is an insulator of heat. By combining to create a hybrid, the ceramic counters the heat issue created from the alumina oxide to reduce and help eliminate heat issues like burn-through from excess surface temperatures.

No filler formula – The results you see are true and accurate – no fillers, hiding or masking.

What does it do? - Removes below surface paint defects like swirls, scratches, water spots and oxidation. Can be used with aggressive pads and powerful tools for removing deep and/or serious paint defects or can be used with soft foam pads and free spinning orbital polishers to finish out for show car results.

When do you use it? - Anytime you want to remove below surface defects that are in your car’s paint and then create a super high gloss finish perfect for sealing with a wax, synthetic paint sealant or a ceramic paint coatings.

Why use 3D ONE over other options? - Freaking amazing abrasive technology. Before I tell you about the product itself, first you need to know there’s something that’s a BIG DEAL about 3D that separates 3D from all the rest of the car care companies and that is – 3D makes their own abrasive technology from scratch!

Unlike most other companies that much cross their fingers and hope they are buying the best abrasive technology, or even good abrasive technology, 3D makes it themselves. And they can do this because they have great chemists. What’s inside the bottle starts with a great team of chemists and an owner that believes in them. Plus – the owner is also the head chemist. This is why at a minimum you own it to yourself to at least try 3D ONE. It’s your money, but it’s also you time, and no one wants to buff out a car only to find out the results don’t look good and now you have to do it a second time. This won’t happen with 3D products and also 3D’s Customer Care Team. We’re here to help you from start to finish.

Now that you know 3D makes their own abrasive technology, (for all their compounds, polishes, and all-in-ones, for both their automotive line and their marine line), now let me tell you about the 3D ONE itself.

Other companies have tried hard to create a hybrid compound/polish type product with little success. These other attempts either don’t offer the cut necessary to be considered a true compound for heavy duty work or they cut great but don’t finish out well and often times this shows up as micro-marring left in the finish.

3D ONE is the first product that can do both, cut and finish and most important – this hybrid compound/polish works and delivers consistent results over a wide-spectrum or car paints. When it comes to paint correction, the unknown variable between different cars is paint hardness. Some cars can have very hard paint while other cars can have very soft paint and some cars of course are right in the middle, the sweet spot.

3D ONE works on all paint types, hard, medium, and soft. And you can control the level of cut or finish by simply changing the type of pad or the type of pad together with the type of tool. With 3D ONE, you can get rid of all your other antiquated compounds and polishes because now there is finally a product that will in fact do it all.

Besides offering incredible cutting and finishing ability, the product never dries up on you. Meaning you can buff until the cows come home and the product works throughout the entire buffing cycle and just as important – ZERO DUSTING! So many compounds and product dry-up and then start creating dust all over the car, your pad and you! No so with 3D ONE.

No fillers. 3D ONE does not contain any fillers, or any ingredients intended to fill, mask, or camouflage swirls and scratches. The results you see are true and accurate.

Also – Super easy wipe off. Most compounds become sticky and can become difficult to wipe-off after buffing. 3D ONEE is easy to wipe-off immediately after buffing and for hours after buffing. Easy wipe-off mans less risk for user-induced towel wiping marring and better yet – less tiring for you.

3D on the outside of the bottle means you can trust the product on the inside of the bottle.

Combination hybrid compound/polish – Can cut like an aggressive compound or finish-out like a fine-cut polish – in a single product.
Uses engineered ceramic alumina abrasives, which reduce surface temperature.

3D Speed

From £12.99

All-In-One car scratch remover, swirl correction and wax sealant
Premium car polish and wax all in one bottle
Restores paint color, depth and gloss while also adding a layer of protection
For best results, apply with a Dual Action or Random Orbital Polisher

3D SPEED is the most popular AIO product on the market world-wide. The reason why is because it works so good and it’s so fast and easy to work with. In fact, it’s the most versatile AIO on the market today. 3D SPEED can be used with any type of machine, any type of pad and is the most effective AIO on the market if you choose to work by hand.

Just one of the reasons 3D SPEED is so popular is due to the proprietary abrasive technology created at 3D’s own manufacturing plant in Santa Clarita, California. Unlike most brands, 3D makes their own abrasive technology in their privately owned manufacturing plant based upon their own research and development by their team of in-house chemists. Everything from the raw materials to the finished product is controlled and manufactured by 3D. It doesn’t get any more real than this.

Beside incredible paint correction and polishing ability, 3D SPEED leaves behind a layer of synthetic paint sealant blended with Montan Wax. This proprietary blend creates a sealant that offers long lasting shine with excellent resistance to high heat climates as well as resisting corrosion from exposure to chemical contamination. This blended sealant also offers excellent gloss, shine, and slickness for reduced marring anytime you wash, dry or in any way wipe the finish.

3D on the outside of the bottle means you can trust the product on the inside of the bottle.

What is it? - 3D SPEED is the world’s best AIO or All-in-One. The term AIO is interchangeable with the term cleaner/wax, that is it’s like mixing a compound, a polish, and a wax into one bottle.

AIOs are one of the oldest categories of paint correction products in the car detailing industry. These products were first introduced in the early years when automobiles were first introduced and replacing horse-drawn carriages as a means of transportation. This category of product enables a person to maintain their car’s finish quickly and easily by removing oxidation and restoring the full richness of color while leaving behind wax protection.

What does it do? - 3D SPEED does three paint correction processes in a single step,

1: Compound - 3D’s unique and proprietary abrasive technology removes defects like swirls, scratches, water spots and oxidation WITHOUT inflicting micro-marring at the same time.

2: Polish – 3D’s own polishing agents pick up where the compound leaves off to create a clear, high gloss shine with maximum D.O.I or distinction of image.

3: Protection – 3D SPEED seals the surface to lock-in the achieved results while locking out all the corrosive substances found in the environment that act to attack and corrode the paint.

While it can be a tick difficult to wrap your brain around how a single product can remove defects while at the same time leaving protection behind – using this product just ONE time will make you a believer.

When do you use it? - Anytime you want to restore a better-than-new factory shine to your car’s paint. And the good news is you can use this product on virtually any type of paint and also gelcoat, plastic surfaces, and even clear bras or PPF or Paint Protection Film as is known in the detailing industry. You can even use this product on glass to remove light water spotting, road film and drizzle stains. 3D SPEED is as close to a miracle product you can find it’s that good.

Why use 3D SPEED over other options? - Why use 3D SPEED over competitor’s products? This is an easy question to answer… because it works so well.

Let’s take an in-depth look at why 3D SPEED is so good and why everyone should have this product in their detailing arsenal.

3D products use the BEST abrasive technology in the world

The most important factor when it comes to working on car paint is the abrasive technology.

Why? Because it is the abrasive technology that is touching the paint first.

It is the abrasive technology that must do the impossible. It must abrade the surface to remove defects without at the same time leaving in their place its own defects. Any abrasive technology that can do this is an engineering marvel. The fact of the matter is most paint correction products cannot do this. When it comes to abrasive technology, products either work or they don’t. There are no gray areas. Products do not kind of work.

If the products you’re used to working with remove defects, but the results always look hazy in the sun – chances are good this is micro-marring caused by inferior abrasive technology. When this happens the only way to undo the damage is to re-do the job only this time using great abrasive technology. Same yourself time, energy, and frustration – use products from 3D, including 3D SPEED.

This new formula requires more time and more complex steps to create the raw materials and process them into the final powder – Alpha Ceramic Alumina or ACA. If you’re new to paint correction chemistry lingo – the word powder refers to the abrasive technology.

Besides the powder, the other important components that result in a compound or polish are the liquids. The liquids are just as important as the powder because it is the liquids that determine how well or how poorly the powder performs in different applications, such as for use with ha rotary polisher and/or for use with an orbital polisher.

After much experimenting with a brand new and very complex processing technology, once Tunch Goren perfected the powder and the accompanying liquids he then blended these two components together to create 3D ACA 510 Premium Rubbing Compound and 3D ACA 520 Finishing Polish.

ACA 500 X-tra Cut Compound

From £19.99

Step 1 extra cutting body shop compound with foam or wool pad
Cuts P1000 grit sandpaper or finer
Removes sanding marks, deep scratches, oxidation, and water spots
Levels car paint surface to create a more perfect finish

3D ACA 500 X-TRA Cut Compound is the wool pad version of 3D ACA 510 for shops that prefer and use wool pads when cutting with a rotary polisher.

When it comes to polishing paint, THE most important factor is the abrasive technology. Think about it? It is the abrasives that TOUCH the paint first, then the buffing pad. Behind the pad is the tool and behind the tool is the person.

3D Products is unique in ALL the world because our abrasive technology is unique to 3D. We make all our own powders, (powders mean abrasive technology), we go as far to make our own raw materials to make our own powders! There’s no other company that can make this claim.

Tunch Goren, the head chemist, founder and owner of 3D Products came up with this technology completely on his own after studying abrasive technology and formulations for over 25 years. Tunch’s passion is to continually create abrasive technology that is unlike no other abrasive technology in the world.

The process that Tunch Goren invented and manufactures in-house in Santa Clarita, California is unique – there are no other manufacturing plants on Earth with this capability.

3D on the outside of the bottle means you can trust the product on the inside of the bottle.

What is it? - A body shop safe, silicone-free, water based premium quality fast cutting compound for use with wool pads and rotary polishers to remove sanding marks in body shop environments.

What does it do? - 3D ACA 500 X-TRA Cut Compound is formulated and intended for use in body shops to remove sanding marks after wet sanding. It can also be used by detailers for paint correction including removing deep scratches, water spots, swirls, and oxidation. 3D ACA 500 X-TRA Cut Compound levels automotive paint surfaces to create a more perfect finish

When do you use it? - After wet sanding paint to remove the sanding marks or anytime you need to perform paint correction to remove serious and/or deep swirls, scratches, water spots or oxidation and prep the paint for the polishing step.

Why use 3D ACA 500 over other options? - 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.

There is ZERO crystalline silica in 3D ACA 500 X-TRA Cut Compound just like there is zero crystalline silica in any of our products. Crystalline silica is a fine, glass particulate that floats in the air. It’s cheap and this is why it was commonly used in other brands of compounds, polishes, and all-in-one type products.

Here at 3D, we have NEVER used crystalline silica in any of our products and we never will. We make products that are safe for you and the environment – this is how we roll at 3DProducts.com

AAT 505 Correction Glaze

From £19.99

All-In-One body shop safe compound, polish, and wax
Restores old and dull paint to blend evenly with freshly painted panels
Removes holograms, swirls, scratched, oxidation, and water spots
Fresh paint safe, silicone-free, and water based

We should call this – 3D AAT 505 My Best Friend!

Why? - Because after you use this product ONE time it will be your new best friend. AND – you’ll never want to be without your best friend.

If you work in a body shop you understand all the issues that go on behind the scenes that the general public, your customers, insurance adjusters and yes – even your boss never sees nor gets it.

The majority of work you do is collision repair. Daily drivers get wrecked, new body panels are installed and painted. Now the area you fixed looks better than the rest of the car. It won’t look right to give the car back to the owner with shiny paint where you worked and dull, weathered, swirled-out paint over the rest of the body panels.

You know the right fix is to do a full paint correction including compounding, polishing, and waxing the rest of the car so it MATCHES the new paint. But there’s no time for that and the time, labor and materials are never covered by insurance or the car owner.

You’re a craftsman, you work in a craft industry. Chances are really good you’re also a tick OCD about the perception of the work you personally turn-out as well as the reputation of the shop and shop owner where you work. You’re stuck between a rock and a hard place and there’s no easy answer. Until now.

I know it’s easy to be cynical when you’re reading copy like this but I’m being straight with you because I’m like you. I’m writing from my heart and my real-world experience. I know what it’s like for everyone’s expectations to be unrealistically high and due to time constraints – these kinds of expectations are simply not real-world.

Inside I want to do my best work and make everyone happy including the customer, the boss and yes, myself. I want to feel good about the work I turn-out. I certainly don’t want anyone thinking I’m a hack.

Let’s cut to the chase - here’s what this product is. 3D 505 Correction Glaze is unique in the professional body shop world of compounds and polishes. It’s a polish but nothing like any polish you’ve ever used.

First – it offers great correction ability for a “polish”. It’s not a compound so keep things in perspective – it’s for cleaning up the paint surrounding the new freshly sprayed paint, so the ENTIRE car looks the same.

Tunch calls it a BLENDER because it blends the surrounding panels that are filled with swirls, scratches, and oxidation so they look like the new, fresh sprayed paint.

Now when the customer comes to pick up their car the entire car is going to look great. It’s going to look “finished”. The customer is going to be happy and to be honest – they won’t even know why.

This product removes medium level swirls and scratches and anything it doesn’t remove it dramatically improves. It NEVER dries out or gets dusty. Never. And it wipes off super easy and leaves a wet looking shine. And then get this – it’s safe for fresh paint.

It’s works like a light cutting compound, a jeweling polish and leaves behind a proprietary hybrid version of Montan wax. Not only will the car look great but as your customer puts the car back on the road – the paint will be protected from the elements.

In fact, not to take away anything from any of the other 3D polishes, 502 and 520, because they work great also, but you can use this product, 505 Correction Glaze as the follow-up polish to any 3D compounding step. Same idea – use a fine cut polish to perfect the results created by the compounding step but with 3D 505 Correction Glaze you’re also leaving behind some protection for the customer’s benefit.

Take a chance. You’ve got nothing to lose. We offer a money back guarantee – you’ve got nothing to lose. Then use this product ONE time like I describe in the directions and thank 3D, Tunch Goren, the owner (and head chemist) and finally me later. -Mike Phillips

3D on the outside of the bottle means you can trust the product on the inside of the bottle.

What is it? - A body shop safe, fresh paint safe AIO. AIO stands for All-in-One. An all-in-one product is a product the compounds, polishes and protects in one step. In the hold days we called these a cleaner/wax. This is simply the next evolution in cleaner/waxes as it’s a hybrid product that’s safe for fresh paint.

What does it do? - It works like an AIO in the car detailing world only it’s safe for fresh paint. You can use it as a polish on fresh paint to remove minor defects and leave behind Montan wax protection, but its PRIMARY purpose is to restore the shine and gloss to the existing paint on the body panels that surround the panels with new paint. It’s a way to make the weathered panels of the car look new so they match the new paint from the repair work.

When do you use it? - After the body work and paint has been completed on a repair job in collision shops.

Why use 3D AAT 505 Correction Glaze over other options? - The simple and truthful reason you should choose and use 3D 505 Correction Glaze over any other product is because it works so freaking good. It buffs like butter while removing swirls, scratches, water spots and oxidation. After it dries, (and you should let it dry), it wipes off super super easy and this is nice for you.

And for what it’s worth – 3D SPEED is the NUMBER #1 AIO in the car detailing world because it works so well. It removes defects exceptionally well, it has zero dusting, it buffs forever and never dries out and again – it wipes off super easy. 3D 505 Correction Glaze is the body shop version of 3D SPEED.

ACA 510 / ACA 520 2 Step Bundle

From £34.99

ACA Flex P2500 Orange Sandpaper Disc - Box of 50

From £32.99

For light orange peel removal or for refining P1500 sanding marks

3D P2500 Flex Sanding Discs are super high quality, fine cut sanding discs for use after an aggressive sanding step like our 3D P1500. The P2500 discs quickly refine the P1500 sanding marks to P2500, which then are incredibly fast and easy to remove via compounding.

3D P2500 discs can also be used by themselves to level minor orange peel, match factory orange peel or level minor surface texture.

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.

3D P2500 Flex Sanding Discs leave such a uniform, shallow sanding mark pattern it makes the arduous task of sanding faster and easier as well as makes the compounding step faster and easier.

What is it?

A fine grit 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?

After first sanding with the 3D P1500 sanding discs to refine the P1500 sanding mark pattern to an even more shallow depth or as a stand-alone sanding process when there’s only minor orange peel to remove. P2500 is also excellent for light sanding on fresh paint to match factory orange peel o adjacent panels or for leveling minor surface texture or minor paint imperfections when P2500 is more aggressive than what’s needed.

Why use 3D P2500 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.
