3M 7000028367 Foam Polishing Pad Waffle Face 3 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000028367 is a soft foam polishing pad designed to apply polishes and glazes to painted or finished surfaces. At 3 inches in diameter, it fits standard Hookit-style backing plates and is sized for detail work and spot correction. The waffle face pattern holds polish more effectively during use, reducing sling and keeping compound where it belongs. At 0.04 pounds, the pad adds minimal weight to a dual-action or rotary polisher. Detailers and finishing technicians use it in the final stages of a paint correction or surface preparation process to remove haze, light swirls, and glaze residue.

This pad is suited for light-cut polishing and glaze application on automotive, marine, and coated surfaces. The 3-inch diameter makes it well-matched for confined areas, body lines, and door jambs where a larger pad cannot work cleanly. It is sold individually and intended for professional finishing applications where pad selection is matched to compound aggressiveness and surface condition.

Key Features

• Waffle face pattern reduces polish slinging and improves compound retention
• 3-inch diameter suits spot correction, tight body lines, and confined surface areas
• Soft foam construction designed for polishes and glazes rather than heavy cutting compounds
• Hookit-compatible attachment style for secure backing plate connection
• Lightweight at 0.04 pounds, adding minimal load to the polisher

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement pad for use with standard 3-inch Hookit backing plates on dual-action and rotary polishers.

Installation Notes

Attach the pad securely to a compatible Hookit backing plate before operating the polisher. Prime the pad with a small amount of polish before the first pass to condition the foam. Inspect the pad surface before each use and replace if foam shows tearing, hardening, or uneven compression. Allow the pad to cool between heavy use cycles to avoid heat buildup on the surface being finished.
