3M 03173 Light Paint and Rust Remover 5 inch

The 3M Light Rust and Paint Remover 5 Inch (03173) is a drill-mounted abrasive disc engineered to quickly strip light rust, scale, and old paint from metal, wood, plastics, and fiberboard. Made from flexible non-woven synthetic material with embedded abrasive grain, this remover conforms to contoured surfaces for uniform removal without rusting or splintering. It attaches easily to standard electric drills using a mandrel, making rust and paint removal faster and less labor-intensive compared with hand sanding. Ideal for automotive restoration, metal prep, and general surface cleanup.
