FinishFilm Sheets

FinishFilm sanding sheets use a thin plastic film backing instead of traditional paper. The film provides a uniform thickness, superior tear resistance, and full waterproofing — making them ideal for wet sanding automotive clear coats, de-nibbing, and fine finishing work. The consistent backing produces a more even scratch pattern compared to paper, which is why they are the preferred choice for professional automotive refinishers.

Use film-backed FinishFilm sheets for any application requiring a precise, consistent scratch pattern — particularly wet sanding clear coat, de-nibbing paint defects, and final surface preparation before polishing. For heavy stock removal, body filler levelling, or situations where cost per sheet is more important than lifespan, standard paper-backed sheets are a practical choice.

Yes. FinishFilm sheets are fully waterproof and designed for wet sanding. Using them with water or a wet sanding lubricant extends abrasive life, reduces heat build-up in the paint, and produces a finer scratch pattern compared to dry sanding at the same grit.

SPX FinishFilm sheets are available across a fine-grit range suited for automotive finishing, typically P800 through to P3000. Check the individual product listings for current stock and available grit options.
