3M 7000000484 Foam Polishing Pad 8 Inches 2 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7000000484 is a single-sided black foam polishing pad designed to remove compound swirl marks and fine paint surface defects. Measuring 8 inches in diameter, it features a flat back design that seats firmly against compatible backup pads for consistent surface contact. Each pack contains 2 pads. This pad is intended for use with 3M machine polishes and is a go-to consumable for auto body technicians and detailing professionals performing paint correction work on vehicle exteriors.

This pad is suited for professional paint finishing applications where controlled cutting and polishing action is required. It works with 3M Hookit backup pads, part numbers 05717 or 05718, making it a direct fit for shops already running that system. Typical use cases include light defect removal, swirl mark correction, and final polish stages on clear coat and single-stage paint systems in both production and detail shop environments.
