Product Description

Advantages of 3M™ Finesse-it™ Natural Buffing Pad

• Provides the most aggressive cutting action in the Finesse-it line for fast removal of sanding scratches in conjunction with 3M™ Finesse-it™ polishes
• Dense natural pile conforms to contours for even finishing
• Aggressive cut quickly removes oxidation and scratches with less heat buildup
• 3M™ Hookit™ attachment system holds pad securely and provides quick disc/pad change-out
• Pads combine with buffers, random orbital tools, and variable speed polishers to produce desired final finish

3M™ Finesse-it™ Natural Buffing Pad is made with select lamb’s wool hide, trimmed to 20 mm length to offer a more aggressive cut than longer-fiber pads. The natural hide holds each fiber individually, which minimizes lint discharge. The dense pile surface holds the polish for even, consistent material distribution while minimizing splatter and jumping.

3M™ Finesse-it™ Natural Buffing Pad is ideal for buffing automotive OEM, marine, and aerospace coatings. When used in conjunction with Finesse-it polishes, the pad quickly removes finishing abrasive sand scratches, oxidation, and other paint surface defects. Resulting finish may require a follow up polishing step with a finer pad to completely remove swirl marks.

3M manufactures this pad with the 3M™ Hookit™ attachment system for quick pad mounting and removal. It also holds the pad securely in place during use. Hookit™ buffing pads conveniently and firmly attach to a hook-and-loop backup disc pad (sold separately) on rotary or random orbital tools. You can remove them cleanly and easily, and re-use them for the life of the pad. Finish results are dependent on specific polish used, coating type, and the tool used.

Wool buffing pads are generally more aggressive and easier to control than foam pads. They have a greater available cutting surface area due to the presence of thousands of fibers. These fibers provide faster cutting action than foam pads. Wool fibers hold the polish to provide even distribution of material and require less pressure from the operator. The nap helps wool pads glide and conform to contours, making them easier to control than foam pads.

Due to their cutting ability, wool pads are effective for removing sanding scratches and perform best on rotary type buffing tools. Finishing with a wool pad may require a follow-up step with a foam pad and polish to remove micro-marring or swirl marks. This depends on the polish type, individual technique, composition of the coating, and the tool used.
