-
How many buffing pads are included in one carton of the product?
Each carton of the 3M™ Finesse-it™ Premium Foam Buffing Pad contains a total of 10 individual buffing pads. This quantity can be convenient when working on multiple projects or larger surface areas.
-
Is it possible to wash and reuse these buffing pads for multiple jobs?
While some users choose to clean and reuse their foam buffing pads, it's important to note that the effectiveness may decrease over time. For optimal results and consistency in performance, we recommend using fresh pads for each new detailing task.
At 3M, we understand the ever-changing chemical composition of paint and clear coat technologies. That's why we developed our line of foam pads specifically to address these unique challenges. Our 3M Finesse-it Premium Foam Buffing Pads are designed to last longer between changes compared to our 3M Finesse-it Advanced Foam Pads, while still delivering consistent and repeatable finishes every time.
These premium foam buffing pads are perfect for final and extra-fine finishing steps on clearcoats. They are also highly effective in removing sand scratches or swirl marks from previous finishing steps. With a variety of formulations available, our Finesse-it Premium Foam Buffing Pad range offers different levels of aggression to suit your specific needs.
Choose from two surface options: the convolute face option, which provides sufficient contact surface without excess heat build-up, or the flat face option, which ensures 100% contact for maximum cut and smooth-running operation.
To achieve optimal results, we recommend pairing our Finesse-it Premium Foam Buffing Pads with 3M Finesse-it Polishes. This combination is perfect for achieving satin, semi-gloss, or high-gloss OEM finishes on various surfaces, including wood, automotive, marine, and aerospace coatings.
