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 waffle face of the pad helps minimize heat buildup during buffing and eliminates swirl marks. The flat face of the pad increases contact area, improving cutting performance, and provides smooth feedback. The pad features a 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 on rotary or random orbital tools. The pad can be removed cleanly and reused multiple times for its entire lifespan. The final finish results depend 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 operate at higher RPMs and rely on a combination of cutting and speed to remove fine scratches, swirl marks, and surface marring. The aggressiveness 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 recommended for use with random orbital tools and are used in conjunction with polishes.
