Another Perfect-It™ Top Performer.
3M developed these foam pads as part of 3M™ Perfect-It™ Paint Finishing System (PDF, 303 Kb) 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. They can normally operate at higher RPMs, relying on a combination of cutting and heat buildup to slightly melt the surface coating and remove fine scratches and swirl marks. 3M™ Perfect-It™ Foam Compounding Pads are best used in conjunction with Perfect-It™ Rubbing Compound and are quickly attached to rotary and random orbital tools.
Quick Connect Double-Sided Pads.
Double-sided 3M™ Perfect-It™ Foam Compounding Pads feature a center plate for added durability, and work with Quick Connect polisher adapter. The metal adapter has 5/8-inch threads, making it easy for operators to quickly lock and center compounding pads to a large range of standard rotary polishers. They can detach them just as quickly, which makes changing pads easy and fast and saves time during the stages of 3M Perfect-It™ Paint Finishing System.
Single-Sided Foam Pads and 3M Hookit™ attachment System.
3M™ Hookit™ hook-and-loop feature makes attachment, removal, and re-attachment of single-sided 3M™ Perfect-It™ Foam Compounding Pads clean, easy and very fast for maximized shop time. Hookit™ pads have J-shaped hooks of the type most commonly used in everyday hook-and-loop applications. Hookit™ disc back-up pads grip the brushed nylon loop backings of 3M™ Perfect-It™ Foam Compounding Pads and keep them firmly attached even during aggressive use. Yet the pads also remove very quickly, saving time during multi-step compounding jobs.
