Product Description<\/h3>\n

The Meguiar’s Unigrit Finishing Disc’s make removing fine imperfections from your paint fast and easy! It can help you remove scratches, water marks, bird droppings, orange peel from the paint or restore oxidized and faded headlights. These ultra fine sanding pads are very user friendly as they help quickly remove blemishes with little effort and bare minimal haze, if any at all. Simply attach your Meguiar’s Foam Sanding Interface (3″<\/a>) to your buffer and the hook and loop backing on your Unigrit Finishing Disc will secure the pad to the interface. Spray the Finishing Disc and the area you want to sand with some water. On a lower speed setting using minimal pressure buff away the imperfections just like you would with a polish. We recommend checking your work and cleaning the pad frequently. To clean the pad, spray the pad with some water and run your finger or a clean microfiber along this pad to remove any residue, it’s that simple! We always recommend starting with the least aggressive sanding pad and working your way up to the more aggressive pads as needed. If you are looking for an easy way to remove noticeable imperfections from your paint, look no further than the Meguiar’s Unigrit Finishing Disc’s!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

During\u00a0my review I used the 1000 and 3000 grit discs for a headlight restoration on a severely oxidized set of\u00a0lights. \u00a0The Unigrit 1000 discs worked very quickly at\u00a0cleaning up the sanding marks caused by the\u00a0600 grit sand paper used in the previous step of the head light restoration\u00a0process. \u00a0You will need to keep the disc\u00a0wet in order to prolong the life of the disc. \u00a0I like\u00a0using air every so often to blow the disc off in order\u00a0to keep a nice clean face. \u00a0It is also important to keep the disc clean in order to achieve the maximum amount of correction and cut.<\/p>\n

The Meguiar’s Unigrit discs\u00a0can also be used for more than just\u00a0head light restoration jobs. \u00a0They are great for spot repairs to remove scratches or orange peel removal before compounding and polishing. \u00a0You need\u00a0to be extremely\u00a0careful when doing any type of sanding on the finish of your vehicle, and be certain\u00a0that you have enough clear or paint to work with before proceeding as it does not take long to cause damage if not done properly. \u00a0It is always critical\u00a0to take some paint readings with a tool such as the DeFelsko PosiTest DFT Paint Thickness Gage<\/a> or even the Highline Meter Paint Thickness Gauge<\/a>\u00a0as most factory clears are very thin. \u00a0You will also want to use the interface pad along with the discs when working on paint as this will allow the disc to properly conform to surface greatly reducing the chances of damage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
