3M 7100009658 Clean Sanding Soft Interface Disc Pad

Product Description

The 3M 7100009658 is a soft foam interface disc pad designed for use between a Hookit backup pad and a sanding disc. Constructed from a durable, compressible foam, it adds a conformable layer that allows the sanding disc to follow contours and work closer to edges without losing consistent surface contact. The pad measures 5 inches in diameter with a thickness of 0.5 inches and features 44 through-holes that align with compatible clean-sanding system components to maintain dust extraction efficiency throughout the sanding operation. It weighs 0.07 pounds. Body shop technicians and auto refinish professionals are the primary installers of this component.

This interface pad is suited for automotive refinishing, spot repair, and featheredging applications where surface contouring is critical. It is used in both vacuum-assisted and non-vacuum Hookit disc systems, providing added conformability in either setup. The 44-hole pattern is designed to align with the 5-inch 3M Red Clean Sanding Disc Pad for consistent airflow and dust extraction across the pad face. Typical use environments include body shops, paint prep stations, and collision repair facilities.

Key Features

• Soft, durable foam construction increases conformability over curved and contoured surfaces
• 44-hole pattern supports dust extraction when paired with compatible clean-sanding backup pads
• 5-inch diameter and 0.5-inch thickness fit standard Hookit backup pad systems
• Compatible with both vacuum and non-vacuum Hookit disc configurations
• Allows closer approach to edges without lifting or bridging the sanding disc

Compatibility

Designed for use with the 5-inch 3M Red Clean Sanding Disc Pad and compatible Clean Sanding Hookit Backup Pads. Works with both vacuum-assisted and non-vacuum Hookit disc systems.

Installation Notes

This pad is installed between the Hookit backup pad and the sanding disc — no tools are required for attachment. Ensure the hole pattern on the interface pad aligns with the backup pad and disc holes before beginning sanding to maintain dust extraction performance. Inspect the foam pad regularly for compression set or tearing, and replace when conformability is noticeably reduced. This component is typically serviced by auto body technicians and paint prep specialists.
