3M 7000036290 Foam Buffing Pad 3 Inches White

Product Description

The 3M 7000036290 is a white foam buffing pad designed for final-stage paint finishing on automotive clear coats. The pad features a waffle-pattern face that promotes efficient material removal and a uniform finish during the buffing process. Measuring 3 inches in diameter, it attaches via a hook-and-loop fastening system for quick mounting and removal on compatible backing plates. At 0.03 pounds, the pad is lightweight and intended for use as a consumable in a structured paint correction workflow. Auto body technicians and paint correction specialists use this pad as the final step after compounding and polishing cycles.

This pad is engineered for use in the Finesse-it Trizact Paint Repair System, targeting OEM-grade clear coat surfaces. It is suited for light finishing work on passenger vehicles and other painted surfaces where a defect-free, high-gloss result is required. The waffle face geometry helps distribute product evenly and reduces the risk of surface marring during the final buffing pass. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• Waffle-pattern foam face for efficient finishing action on clear coat surfaces
• 3-inch diameter fits standard backing plates used in the Finesse-it Trizact system
• Hook-and-loop attachment system allows fast pad changes during multi-step paint correction
• White foam construction designed for final finishing rather than heavy correction
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds, minimizing added mass during orbital or rotary tool use

Compatibility

Designed for use in the 3M Finesse-it Trizact Paint Repair System on OEM clear coat finishes. Requires a compatible 3-inch hook-and-loop backing plate.

Installation Notes

This pad is installed by pressing the hook-and-loop face firmly onto a compatible 3-inch backing plate. Before mounting, ensure the backing plate surface is clean and free of debris that could cause pad slippage or uneven contact. Prime the foam face with a small amount of finishing compound before the first pass to prevent dry buffing. Follow the paint repair system manufacturer's recommended machine speed settings for this pad type.
