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 5 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.

  • 10 discs, 5 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 5 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

  • Consistent sanding action
  • Suitable for professional use

Frequently Asked Questions

How many discs are in the pack?

10 discs of 5 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.
