Product Description: 3M Finesse-it™ Knit Buffing Pads

The 3M Finesse-it™ Knit Buffing Pads are designed to provide excellent compounding and polishing results in hard to access areas. The 85078 pads are trimmed to 15/16" in length, while the 85079 pads have a lengthier nap for good conformability over irregular surfaces. The finish results depend on the specific polish used, coating type, and the tool used.

These pads are equipped with the 3M™ Hookit™ attachment system, which allows for quick pad mounting and removal. The Hookit™ buffing pads can be easily attached to a hook-and-loop backup disc pad (sold separately) on rotary or random orbital tools. They can also be removed cleanly and re-used again and again for the life of the pad.

Compared to foam pads, wool buffing pads are generally more aggressive and easier to control. The thousands of fibers present in wool pads provide a greater available cutting surface area, resulting in faster cutting action. Wool fibers also 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.

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