Features
The 3M Perfect-It Foam Polishing Pad helps refine compounding swirls on automotive paint finishes. Single-sided pad features a 4-in. diameter for control and access in small areas or tight spaces. A specially designed foam pad face holds polish and helps prevent slinging. Pads feature insets for easy centering on rotary polishers, and Hookit hook-and-loop attachment for easy pad change-outs.
A Specially Designed Pad for Polishing Auto Body Panels
When used with 3M™ EX Machine Polish, our 3M™ Perfect-It™ Foam Polishing Pad is engineered to deliver a refined cut that eliminates compounding swirls and small paint surface defects after compounding in collision repair. Its foam construction makes for consistent contact with the automotive surface, and its specially designed face holds the polish and helps prevent slinging to save material waste and cleanup time. A reverse taper protects the edge of the backing pad, helping reduce the chance of damage to the automotive finish. This pad leaves a high-gloss surface ready for final finishing.
Another Perfect-It™ Top Performer
We developed these foam pads as part of our Perfect-It™ Paint Finishing System to keep pace with evolving paint and clear coat technologies. Foam polishing pads are generally less aggressive and produce a finer finish than wool and foam compounding pads, ideal for the critical polishing steps of paint refinishing. 3M™ Perfect-It™ Foam Polishing Pads are best used in conjunction with Perfect-It™ EX Machine Polish and attach quickly to rotary polishers. 3M recommends using these pads with 3M™ Buffer, Pistol Grip, 3 Inch, PN28354.

Single-Sided Foam Pads and Our Hookit™ Attachment System
