Remove Fine Scratches and Swirl Marks.
3M™ Foam Compounding Pad works for a variety of specific applications, including working with cured, hard, or medium finish paint, scratch removal and refining P1200 or finer sand scratches. 3M developed these foam pads to keep pace with evolving paint and clear coat technologies. Foam pads are generally less aggressive and produce a finer finish than wool pads, ideal for the critical compounding stages of paint refinishing.
Single-Sided Foam Pads and Hookit™ Attachment System.
The Hookit™ attachment system has a hook-and-loop feature which makes disc attachment, removal, and re-attachment of single-sided 3M™ Foam Compounding Pad clean, easy and very fast for maximized shop time. It also facilitates use and re-use of the disc for maximum product life. Hookit™ discs have a brushed nylon loop backing of the type most commonly used in everyday hook-and-loop applications. A range of Hookit™ pads such as the 3M™ Foam Compounding Pad features hooks which grip the brushed nylon loop backing. It's simple: just attach the disc and start sanding. The disc removes just as cleanly and easily. The Hookit™ system is designed for work spaces and applications where adhesive backed abrasives may become contaminated by dust, dirt or debris.
Partner Foam Pad with a Compound.
3M suggests using this foam pad in conjunction with Perfect-It™ Rubbing Compound, which is part of line of Perfect-It™ products. It is a fast-cutting compound that helps remove sand scratches and leave a fine finish on automotive paints. Together, the foam pad and compound are an integral part of 3M™ Perfect-it™ Paint Finishing System — developed for when the finest finish is required for every level of clear coat and paint repair. 3M system uses a progressive series of abrasives, buffing and compounding pads, and proprietary polishes across four stages of repair to produce show-room grade finishes with deep color and rich gloss.
