3M 7000028404 Wool Compounding Pad 5.25 in 10 Per Case

Product Description

The 3M 7000028404 is a wool compounding pad designed for aggressive paint correction and surface preparation tasks. Measuring 5.25 inches in diameter, this pad is built to work with rotary and dual-action polishers during compounding stages where cutting power and heat dissipation matter. The natural wool fibers generate the mechanical abrasion needed to remove heavy oxidation, deep scratches, and sanding marks from painted surfaces. Automotive body technicians and detailing professionals rely on this pad as a primary compounding tool before transitioning to finishing stages.

This pad is suited for professional auto body shops and detailing operations handling paint defect removal on passenger vehicles, light trucks, and fleet equipment. It ships in a case of 10 pads, with 2 pads per inner pack, making it practical for high-volume shops that go through compounding pads regularly. The case format reduces per-unit cost and ensures consistent pad availability across multiple bays or technicians.

Installation Notes

Attachment and use of compounding pads should follow the polisher manufacturer guidelines for backing plate size and pad seating. Ensure the pad is fully seated and centered on the backing plate before operating the polisher. Inspect the wool face for debris or glaze buildup between passes and clean or replace as needed to maintain cutting efficiency. Proper eye protection and surface masking of trim and glass is recommended during compounding operations.
