3M has made some important new additions to its market leading abrasive range, aimed at boosting efficiency and reducing repair costs, whilst also improving repair quality.

The newly-developed  Hookit Hard Clear Coat discs from 3M are designed for scuffing OEM hard clear coats which increasingly feature on the latest vehicles. These clear coats can make the job of the vehicle repairer harder. To meet this challenge, 3M’s Automotive Aftermarket Division has developed an abrasive disc specifically designed for the purpose of scuffing hard clear coats prior to blending. A new mineral technology delivers an enhanced cut rate which increases efficiency and productivity, producing the required matt finish for the blending process. This technology can dramatically reduce disc consumption and save time on these jobs.

Added to this the Hookit 260L film disc technology is now available in a 15-hole disc configuration to replace the 7-hole discs. This improves the dust extraction capabilities of the discs and improves sanding performance. The new configuration can be used on existing 3M back-up pads and can be fully aligned with the drive to increase dust extraction and improve disc life and productivity.
