3M™ Softback Sanding Sponge is an abrasive sanding sponge for had to reach places in automotive body repair. It can be used on cars, trucks, and vans such as around headlight openings, door handles, door jambs, and other locations. The soft, flexible foam backing conforms to virtually any profile or shape on a vehicle. These sponges are coated with long-lasting aluminium oxide abrasive. Our sponge can be used wet or dry and helps to eliminate finger marks. Use 3M™ Softback Sanding Sponge to reach tricky areas and eliminate finger marks. Our sponge helps to get into hard to reach places like headlight openings, around door handles and door apertures. This full thickness medium sponge is perfect for preparing old bottom paint for a new coat. It’s ideal for dry or wet sanding of wood, paint, metal, plastic and drywall. When used wet, it keeps the air clear of dust. For sanding challenging areas or unique profiles, the 3M™ Softback Sanding Sponge is designed to conform to various shapes and reach difficult spots. The sponge’s soft foam backing is more flexible than traditional paper-backed sandpaper, with a relatively thin foam layer to enable access to tight locations. These sponges are ideal for hand-sanding where precision and detail are required, beyond what machine-sanding can achieve. The sponges are made from aluminium oxide which provide versatile, efficient use with fast cutting and deburring, continually renewing sharp edges for lasting performance. They are suitable for sanding wood, metal, fiberglass, plastic, gel coats, and marine paints and are particularly effective for eliminating finger marks on surfaces. The sponges come in a range of abrasive grades. Each grade consists of a specific mineral size range to achieve different levels of smoothness.

The Hookit™ Gold Disc 236U is available in 3- or 6-inch diameter sizes for substrates including clear coat, fiberglass, filler, metal, paint, plastic and putty. Resists Dust and Debris Open coat construction means the abrasive grains on our 3M™ Hookit™ Gold Disc 236U are placed with space between them to help evacuate sanding dust and other debris to avoid clogging the cutting edge of the grains. The load-resistant coating on the abrasive grains also allows the disc to continue cutting even when sanding paints, fillers, putties and other materials that would otherwise clog the disc and hinder sanding ability. All of this adds up to increased productivity and reduced material consumption. The 6-hole pattern on select versions of 3M™ Hookit™ Gold Disc 236U facilitates dust evacuation, especially when used with a vacuum system. This design doesn't even require alignment of holes with the disc pad, making disc changes quick and simple. Aluminum oxide is popular among industrial professionals because of its fast cut-rate and long life 7-hole pattern on select versions facilitates dust evacuationAbout Aluminum Oxide Abrasive Aluminum oxide is popular among industrial professionals because of its fast cut-rate and long life. This mineral makes a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, whereas traditional natural abrasives dull more quickly. Due to its fast cut-rate, hardness, and strength, it is widely used in grinding applications in addition to sanding and finishing applications. Aluminum oxide is suitable for a wide variety of materials in metalworking, including ferrous alloys, for auto body applications. About Our Hookit™ Attachment System 3M offers a complete line of hook-and-loop style Hookit™ discs for work spaces where adhesive backed discs may become contaminated by dust, dirt, or flying debris. Hookit™ sanding discs conveniently and firmly attach to a hook-and-loop backup disc pad (sold separately) on a random orbital sander, can be removed cleanly and easily, and can be re-used again and again for the extent of the abrasive life. Durable from Front to Back Through a combination of science and strength — from the grain to the back-up disc pad attachment — our 3M™ Hookit™ Gold Disc 236U delivers long disc life, consistently sharp cut and superior dust resistance for better auto body operations.
