Full Description

CarPro SiC Sanding Discs are foam-backed silicon carbide discs for wet or dry sanding of automotive paint. This pack holds 10 discs of 3 inch P3000, the finest of CarPro's three grits, for precision finishing before polishing.

CarPro says silicon carbide corrects the surface efficiently while letting you refine the sanded area back to a flawless finish, unlike aluminium oxide papers that remove more material and leave deeper grooves. Anti-clog technology makes each disc last longer, and the built-in interface padding keeps contact even across OEM texture. Use them on a DA machine or by hand.

Key Features

  • 10 discs, 3 inch, P3000
  • Silicon carbide abrasive
  • Built-in foam interface pad
  • Anti-clog technology
  • Wet or dry sanding
  • For DA machine or hand sanding

Expert Notes

CarPro says newer OEM paints are increasingly finicky to work with, so it designed these discs to remove defects while keeping an OEM appearance. Silicon carbide corrects efficiently, and the sanded area refines back to a flawless finish.

The foam interface padding is built into each disc. CarPro says it keeps contact consistent in the peaks and valleys of OEM texture without removing too much material.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • OEM paint
  • Clear coat
  • Custom paint
  • Spot repairs and denibbing

Caution: Sanding removes clear coat. Only sand where there is enough paint, and always refine and polish afterwards.

How To Use

Sand a defect

  1. Clean the area and mark out the defect.
  2. Fit the disc to a 3 inch DA backing plate or a sanding block.
  3. For wet sanding, spray the disc and the panel with a lubricant such as CarPro Claylube.
  4. Sand with light, even pressure, checking the area often.
  5. Polish with a compound such as CarPro UltraCut or ClearCut to restore the gloss.

Top Tip: Finish with P3000 before polishing, so the compound has the lightest sanding marks to remove.

Performance Benefits

  • Supports controlled defect removal
  • Useful for paint correction preparation
  • Foam backing improves contact
  • Consistent sanding action
  • Suitable for professional use
  • Helps refine localised defects

Frequently Asked Questions

How many discs are in the pack?

10 discs of 3 inch P3000.

Can I use them wet or dry?

Yes. CarPro says they give consistent results whether you sand wet or dry.

Can I use them by hand?

Yes. CarPro says they work on a DA machine or for manual sanding with a sanding block.

Which grit should I use?

CarPro makes P1500, P2000 and P3000. P1500 is the coarsest, for defect removal, and P3000 the finest, for finishing before polishing.

Why silicon carbide?

CarPro says silicon carbide corrects efficiently while letting you refine the area back to a flawless finish, unlike aluminium oxide papers that leave deeper grooves.

What does the anti-clog technology do?

CarPro says it resists debris build-up, so each disc lasts longer on the job and gives more value per pad.

HQ Suggests Tips & Insights

  1. Keep the disc and surface lubricated when wet sanding.
  2. Check the paint thickness before sanding where you can.
  3. Change discs once they stop cutting.
  4. Wipe with CarPro Eraser to inspect the true result.
  5. Use a sanding block when sanding by hand.

The Brand

CarPro

CarPro is the car care brand behind CQUARTZ, one of the ceramic coatings that brought nano-protection from professional detailing studios to everyday enthusiasts. Founded in 2009 by car enthusiasts, CarPro develops and makes its products in its own laboratory and factory, and it has grown from a single coating into a complete system for paint, glass, wheels, tyres, plastics, leather and fabric.

The range is built to work together. The shampoos and snow foams clean a coated car without leaving gloss enhancers or silicones that would mask the coating, and the compounds and polishes are body shop safe, with no fillers to hide defects. The same products suit a first-time coating at home and the upkeep of a professional CQUARTZ installation.

At The Drivers HQ we stock the CarPro products our customers use most, from Reset shampoo and IronX fallout remover to the CQ UK 3.0 coating, with much of the range on the shelf at our Ilkeston shop.

The CarPro range: prepare, protect, maintain

CarPro organises its products around the order you work on a car, which makes it easy to build a kit that suits your car and the time you have.

Prepare. Clean and decontaminate first. Lift is a concentrated pre-wash snow foam, IronX dissolves iron fallout with an acid-free, pH-balanced formula and turns purple-red as it works, and TRIX removes iron and tar in one go. For paint correction, ClearCut takes out scratches as deep as P1000, Fixer cuts and finishes in a single step, and Reflect refines the finish before a coating. Eraser then removes polishing oils so the coating can bond.

Protect. CQ UK 3.0 is CarPro's consumer ceramic coating: 70% SiO2, applied from 3 to 40°C and rated for 18 to 24 months. There are dedicated coatings for film and plastic trim (CQUARTZ Skin), glass (GForce, built on CarPro's DQUARTZ nano-diamond technology) and leather (CQuartz Leather 2.0), plus quicker options such as HydrO2, a spray-on, rinse-off silica sealant rated for up to 6 months.

Maintain. Reset is the pH-neutral shampoo made for coated cars and dilutes 1:500. Hydro Foam washes and leaves a silica layer in one step, ECH2O is a waterless wash and quick detailer, and MFX restores the absorbency of your microfibre towels.

Shop CarPro by type: ceramic coatings, snow foam, iron and fallout removers, compounds and polishes, paint sealants and glass coatings.

Where to start with CarPro

New to CarPro? Start with the products that make the biggest difference to a normal wash: Reset, Lift and a pair of Dilute bottles, which have printed ratios from 1:1 to 1:30 so every concentrate is mixed correctly. WheelX is the CarPro product our customers buy most often: a ready-to-use wheel cleaner that is safe on coated, chrome and powder-coated wheels.

Ready to protect your paint? Work in this order:

  • Wash with Lift and Reset, then remove iron fallout with IronX.
  • Polish if the paint needs it, from ClearCut for deeper marks to Reflect for a final finish.
  • Wipe each panel with Eraser and apply CQ UK 3.0 one panel at a time.
  • Keep the coating at its best with Reset and a top-up of HydrO2 or Hydro Foam every few months.

For tyres and trim, DarkSide and Perl are the favourites: Perl dilutes up to 5:1, from a rich finish on tyres to a satin look on plastics, and ReTyre cleans tyres and rubber before you dress them.
