3M™ has designed a black buffing pad that is perfect for use with the 3M™ Perfect-it™ family of polishes. This pad is specially developed to achieve satin, semi-gloss or high gloss finishes on wood, automotive, marine, and aerospace coatings. It is ideal for removing abrasive sand scratches that were created to remove small defects in automotive clear coats. The pad can also be used in the 3M™ Perfect-it™ Paint Finishing System for paint and clear coats repair when the finest finish is required.
The 3M™ Hookit™ attachment system is used to manufacture this pad for quick pad attachment and removal. It also holds the pad securely in place during use. 3M™ Hookit™ buffing pads conveniently and firmly attach to a hook-and-loop backup disc pad (sold separately) on rotary or random orbital tools. They 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 the combination of coating type, polish, and tools used.
Foam Pads for PolishingFoam pads were developed to address the unique chemical composition of evolving paint and clear coat technologies. They are generally less aggressive and produce a finer finish than wool pads. Foam pads 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. Foam buffing pads are used in conjunction with polishes and are suitable to use with rotary and random orbital tools.
