Product Details
We manufacture 3M™ Finesse-it™ knit buffing pads with wool fibers knit into a polyester fabric backing designed for applying Finesse-it™ finishing material or Finesse-it™ final finish. These pads are suitable for buffing automotive OEM, marine, and aerospace coatings, effectively removing finishing abrasive sand scratches, oxidation, and other paint surface defects. The Finesse-it™ knit buffing 85078 pads feature a 15/16" pile height, making them ideal for compounding and polishing in hard-to-access areas, while the longer nap of the 85079 pads offers good conformability over irregular surfaces. The pads are compatible with the 3M™ Hookit™ attachment system for quick mounting and removal, ensuring secure placement during use. Hookit™ buffing pads attach firmly to a hook-and-loop backup disc pad on rotary or random orbital tools, can be easily removed, and are reusable throughout their lifecycle. Our wool buffing pads are generally more aggressive and easier to control than foam pads, featuring a greater cutting surface area due to thousands of fibers that provide faster cutting action. The wool fibers retain polish for even material distribution, requiring less operator pressure. The nap aids in gliding and conforming to contours, making the pads easier to control. Due to their cutting ability, wool pads excel in removing sanding scratches and perform optimally with rotary buffing tools. Depending on the polish type, technique, coating composition, and tool used, finishing with a wool pad may necessitate a follow-up step with a foam pad and polish to eliminate micro-marring or swirl marks.
