Our 3M™ Perfect-It™ Foam Finishing Pad is designed as a combination of traditional compounding pad and polishing pad, eliminating the need for multiple pads and multiple repair steps. It works with 3M™ Perfect-It™ 1 Finishing Material, which cuts like a compound but handles like a polish to remove Trizact™ 3000 or finer scratches for a high gloss finish and minimal swirl marks.

One Pad for Multiple Repair Steps

When used with 3M™ Perfect-It™ 1 Finishing Material, our 3M™ Perfect-It™ Foam Finishing Pad is engineered for compounding and polishing – you can achieve a high-gloss finish in fewer steps, without the need for traditional compounding and polishing pads. The combination of pad and finishing material delivers the cut of a compound with the handling of a polish, eliminating Trizact™ 3000 or finer sand scratches. The result is faster final paint finishing with minimal swirl marks, using less material. These single-sided pads feature insets for easy centering on rotary polishers, and Hookit™ hook-and-loop attachment for easy change-outs. A reverse taper protects the edge of the backing pad, helping reduce the chance of damage to the automotive finish.

Another Perfect-It™ Top Performer

We developed these foam pads as part of our Perfect-It™ Paint Finishing System to keep pace with evolving paint and clear coat technologies. Foam finishing pads are generally less aggressive and produce a finer finish than wool pads, ideal for the critical finishing steps of paint refinishing. 3M™ Perfect-It™ Foam Finishing Pads are used in conjunction with Perfect-It™ 1 Finishing Material and attach quickly to rotary polishers. 3M recommends using these pads with 3M™ Buffer, Pistol Grip, 3 Inch, PN28354.
