PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What is the 3M™ Finesse-it™ Knit II Buffing Pad?

    The 3M™ Finesse-it™ Knit II Buffing Pad is a high-performance buffing pad specially designed for removing compound swirl marks and topcoat defects.

  2. What are its dimensions?

    The diameter of this buffing pad is 5-1/4 inches, with a pile height of 15/16 inches.

  3. How many pads come in an inner pack, and how many in a case?

    There are ten buffing pads per inner pack, and fifty pads in each case.

  4. Is it compatible with all types of surfaces?

    Yes! This product can be safely used on all automotive paints, gelcoats, marine coatings as well as other surfaces like plastics or wood finishes etc.

  5. . Can I wash / reuse the pads?

    . It's possible to reuse your finessing foam buffing pads multiple times by hand washing them gently after use. While it may wear faster than machine-washing techniques (which aren't recommended), you'll save money on replacements to buffer foam in the long term by taking proper care of your equipment.

Finesse-it™ Knit II Buffing Pads are pre-washed to minimize lint discharge. These pads conform well on irregular surfaces and will remove finishing abrasive sand scratches, oxidation, paint surface defects. Finish results are dependent on specific polish used, coating type and the tool used. These pads are designed with the 3M™ Hookit™ attachment system for quick pad mounting and removal and to hold each pad securely in place during use. Hookit™ buffing pads quickly and firmly attach to a hook-and-loop backup disc pad (sold separately) on rotary or random orbital tools, can be removed cleanly and easily, and can be re-used again and again for the life of the pad.

These 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. Because of their cutting ability, wool pads are effective for removing sanding scratches and perform best on rotary type buffing tools. 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.

3M™ Finesse-it™ products are specially engineered abrasives, compounds, polishes, and buffing pads to be used on OEM and baked refinish paints to remove defects, sand scratches, or swirl marks on a variety of painted surfaces. 3M™ Finesse-it™ products are an integral part of a 3M-recommended buffing system for repairing surface defects to clear coats, lacquered wood, solid surfaces, gelcoat, powder coat, industrial paint, acrylic, and glass.
