3M Perfect-It EX Machine Polish 1 gal — High-gloss showroom finish, extended wet time

3M Perfect-It EX Machine Polish 06095 is a professional-grade machine polish designed to remove haze, holograms, and minor paint imperfections while producing deep gloss and refined finishes.

Formulated for collision repair, marine, and industrial paintwork, this 1-gallon polish is part of the 3M Perfect-It Paint Finishing System. It delivers extended wet time for easier working in warm or humid conditions, grips polishing pads to limit sling, and reduces product use thanks to its long working window. The result is a uniform, showroom-quality surface without excessive waste or cleanup.

How does this polish improve final paint appearance?

Perfect-It EX targets residual haze, micro-swirls, and holograms left by heavier compounds and initial sanding. Its abrasive and lubricating balance refines the surface to a smooth, glossy finish while enhancing color depth. You can follow with a lighter finishing polish if an ultra-reflective mirror finish is required.

• Removes fine swirl marks and holograms from previous stages
• Produces a smooth surface ready for high-gloss finishing
• Enhances color saturation and visual depth

What makes it efficient for professional shops?

The formula’s long wet time lets technicians work larger areas without reapplying product, cutting material consumption. Strong adhesion to pads reduces sling, which lowers cleanup time and product waste. These features combine to improve throughput in busy repair or refinish environments.

• Extended working time reduces how often you must add polish
• Minimized sling means less overspray and faster cleanup
• One-gallon size supports repeated jobs without frequent reorders

Which pads and machines work best with 3M Perfect-It EX?

Although compatible with many orbital and rotary polishers, best results come from using pads intended for finishing steps—typically microfiber or soft foam finishing pads. The polish is engineered to cling to these pads so it spreads evenly and stays where you need it, letting the tool do consistent, controlled cutting and polishing.

• Use soft foam or microfiber finishing pads for balanced refinement
• Orbital polishers for safer, user-friendly correction; rotary for higher-cut applications
• Match pad aggressiveness to paint condition to avoid overcutting

How should professionals store and handle this polish?

Keep the container sealed and stored at moderate temperatures to preserve consistency and working characteristics. Follow occupational-use guidelines and local regulations for handling liquids in workplaces; this product is intended for industrial or occupational settings, not consumer sale.

• Store upright in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight
• Reseal cap tightly after each use to maintain wet time properties
• Use appropriate PPE and ventilation per workplace safety rules
