3M polishing compounds for bodyshops
When reordering 3M polishing products, start with the stage of the job: correcting marks and finishing the surface need different products. SIC Refinish lists cutting compounds, anti-hologram polish and polishing accessories. Use this guide to compare their roles and prepare a workshop order with the right codes, pack sizes and quantities.

Start with the defect you need to address
Before buying, distinguish marks needing correction from haze or circular finishing marks. Note the condition of the panel and the stage already completed. That information is more useful than simply asking for the strongest compound or the highest gloss.
3M documentation places Fast Cut Plus Extreme 51815 in abrasive correction and Ultrafina SE 50383 in final finishing. The combination of product, pad and machine should follow the manufacturer's system. A finishing polish does not automatically replace a cutting compound.
Two catalogue references with different roles
The Fast Cut Plus Extreme 51815 listing is for a 1 kg bottle. The Ultrafina SE 50383 listing is for a 1 litre bottle. Keep those units when comparing quotes: weight and volume are not interchangeable just because the containers look similar.
The cards below link to real catalogue references and show their current terms. Pads are ordered separately unless an offer expressly states otherwise. To arrange a replacement, send us the code on the bottle you use and the number of units required.

Organise pads and inspect the result between stages
Identify each pad by its product and intended stage. Keeping accessories separate helps prevent residue from an earlier step being carried into the next one. Check cleanliness, wear and diameter compatibility with your equipment before setting up the workstation.
Inspect the finish under suitable lighting before considering a panel complete. If the result is not as expected, review the process and technical data sheet before adding more product. Application conditions depend on the system and surface; there is no universal speed for every machine.
Workshop supply and repeat orders
For regular purchasing, put cutting compounds, finishing products and accessories on separate order lines. Record consumption over each period and check open containers before reordering. This makes it easier to compare quotes by reference and pack size without accumulating products that serve the same purpose.
SIC Refinish supplies automotive materials from Barcelona. Tell us the references, quantities and whether you need delivery or collection. Availability and terms are checked in the relevant product listing or quote; this page does not offer a polishing bundle or a fixed trade price.
Prepare a polishing enquiry in four steps
- Describe the work: correcting marks, final finishing or reordering a reference you already use.
- Note the full product code, container size and number of bottles. Include a readable label photo if identification is uncertain.
- List pads and other accessories separately. Specify diameter and equipment rather than assuming they come with the compound.
- Compare the quote by reference and sales unit. Check taxes, availability and delivery before confirming.
