In the automotive industry, the difference between a good job and a flawless finish often comes down to the abrasive you use. Mirka’s Iridium™ Soft is the new go-to for tradies and professionals chasing top-tier surface quality on panels, primers and clear coats.
Redefining Fine Sanding
For years, there’s been ongoing discussion about dust-free, dry sanding in fine grits. Many have tried to perfect it, but the balance of control, flexibility and durability just wasn’t there—until now.
After extensive research, development and testing in real-world environments, Mirka proudly introduced Iridium™ Soft — a foam-backed abrasive designed to redefine fine sanding. With its unique construction, it delivers next-level precision, durability and surface control, all while ensuring a smooth, consistent finish every time.
Built for Automotive Professionals
When you’re working on complex curves, contours and body lines, Iridium Soft’s flexible foam backing adapts to every shape. It sands evenly without digging in or leaving harsh edges—perfect for vehicle panels and detailed repair work.
Iridium Soft also features a clog-resistant coating that keeps performance consistent, even in high-dust environments. Combined with Mirka’s precision-engineered abrasive grains, it lasts longer and cuts faster than standard discs, boosting both efficiency and finish quality.
