3M 7100003842 Foam Polishing Pad 8 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 7100003842 is an 8-inch foam polishing pad designed for paint correction and surface finishing work. Sold in cases of 6 pads, it is built for use with dual-action and rotary polishers in automotive, marine, and industrial finishing applications. The foam construction allows the pad to conform to curved panels while maintaining consistent contact pressure across the work surface. Technicians and detailing professionals use this pad with polishing compounds to remove light swirl marks, oxidation, and fine scratches from clear coat and painted surfaces.

This pad is suited for professional detailing shops, body shops, and marine service facilities where consistent surface finishing results are required. The 8-inch diameter fits standard backing plates used with common variable-speed polishers. The case quantity of 6 supports production environments where pad rotation and replacement are part of a standard workflow.
