3M Finesse-it Natural Buffing Pads are made with lambs 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, while its dense pile surface holds the polish for even, consistent material distribution while minimizing splatter and jumping. Designed for applying Finesse-it polishes, these pads are ideal for removing finishing abrasive sand scratches, oxidation, and other paint surface defects on a
- LAMB'S WOOL CONSTRUCTION: Constructed from lamb’s wool hide, trimmed to 20 mm length, for aggressive cutting and minimized lint discharge
- CONFORMABLE: This pad's wool nap conforms to contours for even finishing
- FAST CUTTING: Wool pads are more aggressive and easier to control when compared to foam
- QUICK AND EASY PAD CHANGES: The 3M™ Hookit™ Attachment System allows for easy pad changes and helps optimize tool uptime
- TOOL VERSATILITY: Pads combine with buffers, random orbital tools, and variable speed polishers
- EFFECTIVE PERFORMANCE: Thanks to their cutting ability, wool pads are effective for removing sanding scratches, oxidation, and other paint surface defects

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is the 3M™ Finesse-it™ Natural Buffing Pad made of?
The 3M™ Finesse-it™ Natural Buffing Pad is made of wool fibers that provide a natural, high-gloss finish on automotive paint surfaces.
-
How many buffing pads are included in each case?
There are 10 buffing pads included in each case of the 3M™ Finesse-it™ Natural Buffing Pad.
-
Can this product be used with any type of machine polisher?
Yes, the 7 inch size and Hookit attachment system make it compatible with a wide range of machine polishers including rotary, orbital and random orbital tools.
-
Is this product safe to use on all types of car paint finishes?
Absolutely! The natural wool fibers in this pad make it gentle enough to use on any type or color of automotive paint.
The Finesse-it™ Natural Buffing Pad is perfect for buffing automotive OEM, marine, and aerospace coatings. When used with 3M™ Finesse-it polishes, this pad can quickly remove finishing abrasive sand scratches, oxidation, and other paint surface defects. However, a follow-up polishing step with a finer pad may be required to completely remove swirl marks. The pad is designed with the 3M™ Hookit™ attachment system, which allows for quick pad mounting and removal, and holds the pad securely in place during use. Hookit™ buffing pads can be easily attached to a hook-and-loop backup disc pad (sold separately) on rotary or random orbital tools, and can be re-used again and again for the life of the pad. The finish results are dependent on the specific polish used, coating type, and the tool used.
Wool Buffing PadsCompared to foam pads, wool buffing pads are generally more aggressive and easier to control. They have a greater available cutting surface area due to the presence of thousands of fibers, which 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. 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.
