Better Paint Demands Better Products.
This grey buffing pad was designed to be used in conjunction with our 3M™ Perfect-it™ EX family of polishes, which were specially developed to quickly remove compounding swirls.
The pad removes the compounding swirl marks left by either foam or wool pads and can also be used in the 3M™ Perfect-it™ Paint Finishing System for paint and clear coats repair when the finest finish is required.
Results of the finish depend on the combination of coating type, polish, and tools used.
The Evolution of Paint and Clear Coat.
Foam pads were developed to address the unique chemical composition of evolving paint and clear coat technologies.
Generally, foam pads are less aggressive and produce a finer finish than wool pads.
They operate between 1200 and 2000 rpms to remove fine scratches, compound swirl marks, and surface marring.
Foam buffing pads are used in conjunction with machine polishes and are suitable for use with rotary and random orbital tools.
The 3M™ Perfect-It™ Suite of Products.
Our 3M™ Perfect-It™ system was created to produce show-room grade finishes with deep color and rich gloss.
Our system uses a progressive series of abrasives, buffing pads, and proprietary polishes across four stages of repair.
The stages 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, and Perfect-It™ provides an effective solution for any level of clear coat and paint repair.
