There is a Kit Review forum,where would a product review be?

I just tried out a new to me abrasive from 3M and would like everyone to know about it.

Put it here, one of our wizards will move it where they want it.

Okay. It's called 3M Trizact performance paper. I tried it thru employee/retired sales and the sale was on a sheet of 3000 grit "paper". It's more like a thin sponge approx.4x9 inches. It is recommended to use on clear coats before compounding,and to use it wet. I tried it on a '59 Buick that is sprayed white and has been cleared for a while.It's also had some flaws from being bumped around so I cut a small square of it and started rubbing. It turned the finish to a nice even sheen. It turned out great,and as I was drying off the body with a soft baby diaper,I could see a gloss coming back up. I think I'll clear the body once more and see how smooth it looks. Anyone here in the autobody trade use this abrasive?

Do you have pictures?

No Erik and I need to start doing more of that. I suspect that this product is/will be on a rack at local paint/automotive stores,as it is packaged in a hang tag type of container. The package is labeled Stage 4 so I'd be interested to see all the stages myself. Stage 4 is the last stage of this abrasive according to the package.
