A Pad for Every Part of the Repair Process
This collection of compounding, polishing and finishing pads combines features that save time and money and improve your results at each critical stage of collision repair. In one convenient kit, you get:
- (1) 3M™ Perfect-It™ Foam Compounding Pad
- (1) 3M™ Perfect-It™ Low Lint Wool Compounding Pad
- (1) 3M™ Perfect-It™ Foam Polishing Pad
- (1) 3M™ Perfect-It™ Ultrafine Foam Polishing Pad
For compounding, you can choose the consistency of a foam pad or the cutting speed of a wool pad, without the linting. Our 3M™ Perfect-It™ Foam Polishing Pad is designed for removing sand scratches and compounding swirls with very low sling. For finishing, Our 3M™ Perfect-It™ Ultrafine Foam Polishing Pad is designed to completely remove polish swirls and holograms even from difficult dark-colored automotive surfaces for a showroom finish.
All pads feature a diameter of 4 inches, excellent for control and access in small areas and tight spaces. Each pad has an inset for easy centering to rotary polishers, and Hookit™ hook-and-loop attachment makes for quick pad change-outs.
Featuring our Top-Performing Perfect-It™ Pads
We developed each of these pads as part of our Perfect-It™ Paint Finishing System to keep pace with evolving paint and clear coat technologies. Our foam compounding pads are generally less aggressive and produce a finer finish than wool pads, ideal for the critical compounding steps of paint refinishing. Wool compounding pads generally deliver higher cutting speed. The 3M™ Perfect-It™ Low Lint Wool Compounding Pad included in the kit is made from 100% wool, made in the USA from globally sourced materials, and has a low-linting feature which virtually eliminates tiny lint residue on the automotive surface.
All pads are designed for use with 3M™ Perfect-It™ EX Rubbing Compound, 3M™ Perfect-It™ EX Machine Polish and 3M™ Perfect-It™ EX Ultrafine Machine Polish. 3M recommends using these pads with 3M™ Buffer, Pistol Grip, 3 Inch, PN28354.

Single-Sided Foam Pads and Our Hookit™ Attachment System
The Hookit™ attachment system has a hook-and-loop feature which makes attachment, removal, and re-attachment clean and easy. It also facilitates use and re-use of the Perfect-It™ pad for maximum product life. Hookit™ sheets have a brushed nylon loop backing of the type most commonly used in everyday hook-and-loop applications. Every pad in the 3M™ Perfect-It™ Paint Finishing Pad Kit features hooks which grip the brushed nylon loop backing of your Hookit™ backup pad. It’s simple: just attach the pad and start compounding. The pad removes just as cleanly and easily. The Hookit™ system is designed for work spaces and applications where adhesive backed abrasives may become contaminated by dust, dirt or debris.
