-
How many foam buffing pads come in a carton of the 3M™ Finesse-it™ Advanced Foam Buffing Pad, 43832?
Each carton contains 10 red foam buffing pads that are specifically designed to provide consistent performance and durability over multiple uses.
-
Can you tell me more about the size of the individual foam buffing pad in this case?
Each red foam buffing pad measures 82 mm (3-1/4 inches) in diameter, making it suitable for use with various polishing tools and applications.
The 3M Finesse-it Buffing Pad - Red Foam is designed to effectively remove abrasive sand scratches from automotive clear coats. It can also be used in the 3M Finesse-it Trizact Paint Repair System for AOEM paint and clear coats when a superior finish is desired. The unique waffle face of the pad helps minimize heat buildup during buffing and eliminates swirl marks. Additionally, the flat face of the pad increases contact area, resulting in improved cutting performance and providing smooth feedback during use. The pad features a convenient hook and loop attachment system for quick and secure pad attachment and removal. It can be easily attached to a hook-and-loop backup disc pad (sold separately) on rotary or random orbital tools. The pad is designed for long-lasting use and can be reused multiple times. The final finish achieved depends on the combination of coating type, polish, and tools used.
Heat Resistant3M has developed a comprehensive range of foam pads to cater to the unique chemical composition of modern paint and clear coat technologies. Foam pads are generally less aggressive than wool pads and produce a finer finish. They are designed to operate at higher RPMs, relying on a combination of cutting and speed to effectively remove fine scratches, swirl marks, and surface marring. The abrasive level of foam pads varies based on their softness and the size of the cell holes. Pads with larger holes are more aggressive, while "closed cell" pads are the least aggressive. Foam buffing pads are typically used in conjunction with polishes and are recommended for use with random orbital tools.
Finesse-it Buffing SystemThe 3M Finesse-it range includes a selection of abrasives, compounds, polishes, and buffing pads that are specifically engineered for use on OEM and fully cured refinish coatings. These products are designed to effectively remove defects, sand scratches, or swirl marks from a variety of painted surfaces. The Finesse-it system is an integral part of 3M's recommended buffing system for repairing surface defects on clear coats, lacquered wood, solid surfaces, gelcoat, powder coat, industrial paint, acrylic, and glass.
