3M Perfect-it Hookit Foam Polishing Pad is a soft foam buffing pad used to buff out fine scratches created from sanding or compounding steps over intermediate-size surface areas. The waffle face provides a greater surface contact area than flat surface pads, minimizes heat buildup during buffing and helps eliminates swirl marks. It also helps the pad hold the polish and reduce slinging.
- Provides soft surface for applying 3M polishes
- Waffle face provides sufficient contact surface without excess heat build up
- Repairs and restores coatings without repainting
- 3M™ Hookit™ attachment system holds pad securely and provides quick pad change-out
- Pads combine with buffers, random orbital tools, and variable speed polishers to produce desired final finish

3M has designed the black buffing pad to be used in conjunction with the 3M Perfect-it family of polishes. These polishes have been specially developed to achieve satin, semi-gloss, or high gloss finishes on various surfaces such as wood, automotive, marine, and aerospace coatings.
The black buffing pad is highly effective in removing abrasive sand scratches that were created during the process of removing small defects in automotive clear coats. It can also be used in the 3M Perfect-it Paint Finishing System for paint and clear coat repair when the finest finish is required.
This pad is manufactured with the 3M Hookit attachment system, which allows for quick and easy pad attachment and removal. It also ensures that the pad is securely held in place during use. The 3M Hookit buffing pads conveniently 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.
The final finish results achieved with the black buffing pad are dependent on the combination of coating type, polish, and tools used.
Foam Pads:Foam pads were developed to address the unique chemical composition of evolving paint and clear coat technologies. Compared to wool pads, foam pads are generally less aggressive and produce a finer finish. They operate at higher RPMs and rely on a combination of cutting and heat buildup to slightly melt the surface coating and remove fine scratches, swirl marks, and surface marring.
Foam buffing pads come in a range of abrasive levels, determined by their 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. These foam pads are used in conjunction with polishes and are suitable for use with rotary and random orbital tools.
3M Perfect-It System:The 3M Perfect-It system is designed to produce showroom-grade finishes with deep color and rich gloss. It utilizes a progressive series of abrasives, buffing pads, and proprietary polishes across four stages of repair.
The stages of the Perfect-It system consist of sanding, scratch refinement, compounding, machine polishing, and swirl elimination. The level of work and stages needed for paint repair depend on the severity of the paint imperfection. The Perfect-It system provides an effective solution for any level of clear coat and paint repair.
3M Trizact abrasives, along with compound and polish formulations that are unique to 3M, are used in the Perfect-It system. These products not only increase shop productivity but also help deliver the best-looking vehicle possible.
With almost 700 aftermarket products, 3M covers every stage of the auto refinishing process. The commitment to continual product development ensures a stream of innovative solutions, resulting in quicker job throughput, consistent quality results, and reduced costs.
