Provides Soft, Smooth Surface For Applying 3M™ Finesse-It™ Polishes.
The deeper face on 3M™ Finesse-it™ Buffing Pad - Orange Foam Black Loop provides more contact surface and less heat buildup. These orange buffing pads are ideal for final and extra fine finishing steps for automotive OEM clear coats and removing sand scratches or swirl marks from previous finishing steps. They can also be used in 3M™ Trizact™ Finesse-it™ Paint Repair System for AOEM paint and clear coats. 3M pads are manufactured with the 3M™ Hookit™ attachment system for quick pad mounting and removal and to hold the pad securely in place during use. Hookit™ buffing pads quickly and firmly attach to a hook-and-loop backup disc pad (sold separately) on rotary or random orbital tools, can be removed cleanly and easily, and can be re-used again and again for the life of the pad. Finish results are dependent on specific polish used, coating type, and the tool used.
Repairs Coatings without Repainting.
3M developed line of foam pads to address the unique chemical composition of evolving paint and clear coat technologies. Foam pads are generally less aggressive and produce a finer finish than wool pads. They normally operate at higher RPMs than wool pads, relying on a combination of cutting and heat buildup to slightly melt the surface coating and remove fine scratches, swirl marks, and surface marring. Foam pads range in abrasive levels determined by its softness and the cell size of the holes; the larger the hole, the more aggressive the pad. "Closed cell" pads are the least aggressive type. You can use foam buffing pads in conjunction with polishes and are suitable to use with rotary and random orbital tools.
