Primer sanding

Iridium™ Soft leaves a smooth, paint-ready surface on primers, helping reduce rework before coating.

The flexible foam backing follows curves and profiles, allowing you to sand confidently without cutting through edges.

Clear coat sanding

Used between clear coat layers, Iridium™ Soft helps level the surface and prepare blending zones before applying new clear coat.

Its even pressure distribution reduces the risk of uneven sanding, making it easier to achieve consistent results across large panels.

Pre-polishing sanding

Before polishing, Iridium™ Soft helps refine the surface by creating a uniform scratch pattern that is easy to polish out.

This step reduces polishing time and improves final finish quality—without the mess of wet sanding.

        Frequently asked questions

        What is Mirka Iridium Soft designed for?

        Mirka Iridium™ Soft is a foam-backed abrasive designed for high-performance dry sanding, particularly in collision repair and AOEM surface finishing. It is optimised for fine-grit sanding where control, consistency, and surface quality are critical.

        Can Iridium Soft be used for wet sanding?

        No. Iridium™ Soft is optimised for dry sanding and is not specifically designed for wet applications.

        For wet sanding, Mirka recommends using Abralon, which is designed for superior performance in wet applications.

        What applications is Iridium Soft suitable for?

        Iridium™ Soft is suitable for:
        • Primer sanding
        • Clear coat sanding
        • Pre-polishing sanding
        It is used in both collision repair and industrial manufacturing (AOEM) environments where surface consistency and scratch control are required.

        What grit range is available?

        Iridium™ Soft is available in grits 400 to 2000, allowing it to cover multiple fine sanding stages—from primer preparation to post-paint and pre-polishing steps.

        Can Iridium Soft be used by hand?

        Yes. Iridium™ Soft is designed for both hand and machine sanding.

        The flexible foam backing conforms to curves and contours, providing even pressure distribution and controlled sanding results regardless of user skill level.

        What makes Iridium Soft different from standard paper abrasives?

        Iridium™ Soft features a triple-layer construction:
        • Aluminium oxide sanding layer for fast cutting and durability
        • Flexible foam base for contour following and even sanding
        • Grip backing for secure attachment and easy disc removal
        This construction delivers the speed and cleanliness of dry sanding, with a precision previously only achievable with wet sanding.

        How does Iridium Soft help reduce clogging?

        Iridium™ Soft uses a semi-open coating (the gaps between grains allow dust to escape, preventing buildup) and Multifit® hole configuration, designed to support efficient dust extraction during dry sanding.

        *The center and inner hole placement help reduce dust buildup, while the outer hole pattern ensures contact with all suction points of the backing pad. This helps maintain sanding performance and contributes to a cleaner and more controlled dry sanding process.
