Design and Technology
* Perfect-It™ Colour Coded Paint Finishing System: Developed to keep pace with evolving paint and clear coat technologies. Foam pads are less aggressive and produce a finer finish than wool pads, ideal for critical compounding stages of paint refinishing.
* Double-sided Pads: Feature a center plate for added durability and work with the Quick Connect polisher adaptor. The metal adapter has 16-millimeter threads, making it easy to quickly lock and center compounding pads to a range of standard rotary polishers. Quick detachment makes changing pads easy and fast, saving time.
* Hookit™ System: Hook-and-loop feature allows for clean, easy, and fast attachment, removal, and re-attachment of single-sided 3M™ Perfect-It™ Foam Compounding Pads. J-shaped hooks grip the brushed nylon loop backings, keeping them firmly attached even during aggressive use, and enabling quick removal during multi-step compounding jobs.
Performance
3M™ Perfect-It™ Foam Compounding Pads are integral to the 3M™ Perfect-it™ Paint Finishing System, developed for achieving the finest finish required for every level of clear coat and paint repair. The system uses a progressive series of abrasives, compounding, and polishing pads to produce showroom-grade finishes with deep color and rich gloss.
