Mirka Iridium™ SR - Dedicated to the Finish
Take Advantage of Three-Dimensional Technology

Good to Know About Spot Repair
How do dust nibs occur?
At the final stages of collision repair, after paint and clearcoat has been applied, small imperfections such as dust nibs can become embedded in the clearcoat. These can be visible when inspecting the surface, and in a professionally finished surface there should not be any imperfections.
How to remove surface defects?
Removing dust nibs at the post paint finishing stage is easy with Mirka products and solutions. Damp sanding of the imperfection is done with a Mirka cordless or pneumatic tool, with the sanding taking just seconds. Next, the surface is polished to a perfect shine using Mirka polishing pads and polishing compound.
