3m Finesse-it Knit Buffing Pad, 85078, 3 In, 15/16 In Pile Height

Features and Benefits:

• WOOL CONSTRUCTION: Constructed from wool fibers knit into a polyester fabric for optimal material distribution
• CONFORMABLE: This pad's wool nap conforms to contours for even finishing
• FAST CUTTING: Wool pads are more aggressive and cut faster 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



3M Finesse-it Buffing Pads are available in wool, felt, and foam, offering unique performance traits and benefits depending on your application needs. Wool pads are best paired with rotary-type buffing tools, as they are more aggressive and easier to control when compared to foam pads. This is thanks to their greater available cutting surface, made up of thousands of fibers that deliver fast cutting action. Wool fibers also hold the polish to provide an even distribution of material, requiring less pressure from the operator to use when taking on projects such as removing sanding scratches. Alternatively, felt and foam pads are generally less aggressive and produce a finer finish than wool pads. Developed to address the unique chemical composition of evolving paint and clear coat technologies, 3M Finesse-it Felt Buffing Pads rely on a combination of cutting and finishing to refine the surface coating and remove fine scratches, swirl marks, and surface marring. Foam buffing pads are ideal for final and extra-fine finishing steps for clear coats and for removing sand scratches or swirl marks from previous finishing steps. Foam pads also normally operate at higher RPMs than wool pads, making them suitable to use with rotary and random orbital tools. These pads are best paired with 3M Finesse-it Polishes, which help to achieve satin, semi-gloss, or high-gloss finishes on wood, automotive, marine, and aerospace coatings.
