Choose a 3-, 6- or 8-inch diameter pad for a variety of specific applications including working with cured, hard or medium finish paint, denibbing, scratch removal and refining P1200 or finer sand scratches even in confined spaces. Double- and single-sided constructions work with our Quick Connect and Hookit™ attachment systems to save time and preserve pad life. Pad face patterns are designed into the foam to hold more compound and limit slinging, as well as provide more contact with the surface for maximum efficiency. For the highest performance at every step during auto body compounding, our 3M™ Perfect-It™ Foam Compounding Pads combine features that save time and improve results - for each job, and in your auto body operation.
