"Dégrossissage "would be the first stage (with coarse grain abrasive disks) rather than the last stage before painting.

I'm sure you're right, but this is what I read, by someone using it at a much earlier stage (but maybe he was just using it at an earlier stage than it's intended for): "After the above two step I like to use steel wool or a scotch guard scuffing disk on a drill to loosen the dried on sediment of the chelated rust that form with the "Metal-Ready" stuff. Then mucho thinner to clean the metal, and also Prep-Sol or equivalent (auto paint supply store) to remove whatever silicone or grease on the surface. Next step is to shoot etching primer or a nice epoxy primer (uses catalyst). Lacquer primers are lousy for bare metal. They are porous and don't adhere like urethane primers."

Since the general context is body shop service (service de carrosserie auto) scuffing disc= disque de ponçage / disque abrasif; et hand pads = tampons de ponçage

Scuffing is the last stage before the paint prep (apprêt) and painting. So "ponçage (de finition)" is the best choice I think (forget about "abrasif".
