Solid Surface Sanding Finishing and Polishing
Simple Steps to a Perfect Solid Surface Finish with Mirka Solutions
1. Sand the Surface
Start sanding with a Mirka® DEROS sander (for larger surfaces a Mirka® LEROS-S is recommended) using Abranet® or Abranet® ACE to level out the surface and remove imperfections, beginning with 120 grit and continuing up to 320 grit.
Make sure that the entire surface is sanded. Wipe surface between different grits.
2. Switch to Damp Sanding
For the desired finish switch to damp sanding with Abralon® (make sure both abrasive and surface are wet). With Mirka® Leros-S orbital electric sander, use Abralon® J3.
For a matt or satin finish sand once with 360 grit (matte) or 500 grit (satin). If you want a glossy finish, damp sand with Abralon® up to 4000 grit.
3. Polish the Surface
Polish the surface with Polarshine® 10 and a lambswool pad.
For an even deeper gloss, polish a second time using Polarshine® 10 and a yellow waffle polishing pad (optional).

A better choice for you and the environment
Water-Based Polishes
All polishes that Mirka produces are water-based and produced in Finland. There are many benefits of choosing a water-based polishing compound.
- Effective permanent removal of scratches - Water-based compounds remove scratches permanently. Solvent-based compounds can lose gloss after cleaning the surface with a degreaser and in some cases, they may only temporarily hide the scratches.
- Safer for the operator - No hazardous chemicals
- Sustainable - Water-based polishes are better for the environment and do not contain benzene.
