3M Finesse-it Natural Buffing Pads are made with lambs wool hide, trimmed to 20 mm length to offer a more aggressive cut than longer-fiber pads. The natural hide holds each fiber individually, which minimizes lint discharge, while its dense pile surface holds the polish for even, consistent material distribution while minimizing splatter and jumping. Designed for applying Finesse-it polishes, these pads are ideal for removing finishing abrasive sand scratches, oxidation, and other paint surface defects on a
- LAMB'S WOOL CONSTRUCTION: Constructed from lamb’s wool hide, trimmed to 20 mm length, for aggressive cutting and minimized lint discharge
- CONFORMABLE: This pad's wool nap conforms to contours for even finishing
- FAST CUTTING: Wool pads are more aggressive and easier to control when compared to foam
- QUICK AND EASY PAD CHANGES: The 3M™ Hookit™ Attachment System allows for easy pad changes and helps optimize tool uptime
- TOOL VERSATILITY: Pads combine with buffers, random orbital tools, and variable speed polishers
- EFFECTIVE PERFORMANCE: Thanks to their cutting ability, wool pads are effective for removing sanding scratches, oxidation, and other paint surface defects

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What makes the 3M™ Finesse-it™ Natural Buffing Pad stand out from other polishing pads?
The 3M™ Finesse-it™ Natural Buffing Pad is made of natural fibers that create a finer finish than synthetic materials. This pad also has a unique design for greater versatility and durability.
-
How does the 3M™ Finesse-it™ Natural Buffing Pad perform on different materials?
The natural fibers in this buffing pad make it ideal for use on plastics, solid surfaces, painted surfaces, and gelcoat without any damage or swirls to the surface.
-
Can I reuse the 3M™ Finesse-it™ Natural Buffing Pads after one use or are they disposable?
These buffing pads can be reused multiple times before needing to be replaced. Simply rinse them with water and allow them to air dry thoroughly before storing them away.
The Finesse-it™ Natural Buffing Pad is perfect for buffing automotive OEM, marine, and aerospace coatings. When used with 3M™ Finesse-it polishes, this pad can quickly remove finishing abrasive sand scratches, oxidation, and other paint surface defects. However, a follow-up polishing step with a finer pad may be required to completely remove swirl marks. The pad is designed with the 3M™ Hookit™ attachment system, which allows for quick pad mounting and removal, and ensures that the pad stays securely in place during use. Hookit™ buffing pads can be easily attached to a hook-and-loop backup disc pad (sold separately) on rotary or random orbital tools, and can be reused multiple times for the life of the pad. The final finish results are dependent on the specific polish used, coating type, and the tool used.
Wool Buffing PadsWool buffing pads are generally more aggressive and easier to control than foam pads. They have a greater available cutting surface area due to the presence of thousands of fibers, which provide faster cutting action than foam pads. Wool fibers hold the polish to provide even distribution of material and require less pressure from the operator. The nap helps wool pads glide and conform to contours, making them easier to control than foam pads. Wool pads are effective for removing sanding scratches and perform best on rotary type buffing tools. However, depending on the polish type, individual technique, composition of the coating, and the tool used, finishing with a wool pad may require a follow-up step with a foam pad and polish to remove micro-marring or swirl marks.
