3M® 30045 - Perfect-It™ 4" Wool and Foam Hook-and-Loop Paint Finishing Pad Kit (4 Pieces)

A Pad for Every Part of the Repair Process.

This collection of compounding, polishing and finishing pads combines features that save time and money and improve your results at each critical stage of collision repair.

For compounding, you can choose the consistency of a foam pad or the cutting speed of a wool pad, without the linting. 3M™ Perfect-It™ Foam Polishing Pad is designed for removing sand scratches and compounding swirls with very low sling. For finishing,

3M™ Perfect-It™ Ultrafine Foam Polishing Pad is designed to completely remove polish swirls and holograms even from difficult dark-colored automotive surfaces for a showroom finish.

All pads feature a diameter of 4 inches, excellent for control and access in small areas and tight spaces. Each pad has an inset for easy centering to rotary polishers, and Hookit™ hook-and-loop attachment makes for quick pad change-outs.

Featuring Top-Performing Perfect-It™ Pads.

3M developed each of these pads as part of 3M Perfect-It™ Paint Finishing System to keep pace with evolving paint and clear coat technologies. 3M foam compounding pads are generally less aggressive and produce a finer finish than wool pads, ideal for the critical compounding steps of paint refinishing. Wool compounding pads generally deliver higher cutting speed. The 3M™ Perfect-It™ Low Lint Wool Compounding Pad included in the kit is made from 100% wool, made in the USA from globally sourced materials, and has a low-linting feature which virtually eliminates tiny lint residue on the automotive surface.

All pads are designed for use with 3M™ Perfect-It™ EX Rubbing Compound, 3M™ Perfect-It™ EX Machine Polish and 3M™ Perfect-It™ EX Ultrafine Machine Polish. 3M recommends using these pads with 3M™ Buffer, Pistol Grip, 3 Inch, PN28354.
