3M 7100042950 Wool Compounding Pad 9 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 7100042950 is a double-sided wool compounding pad designed to refine sand scratches during automotive surface finishing. The wool construction aggressively works with liquid compounds to level paint imperfections while the double-sided design extends pad life between dressing cycles. At 9 inches in diameter and 0.41 pounds, it fits standard dual-action and rotary backing plates when used with the appropriate adapter. This pad is well suited for entry-level paint correction work in body shops and detail operations.

This pad is used in automotive refinishing applications where paint correction and scratch removal are required. It is designed for use with 3M compounds and requires the 3M Adaptor, part number 05710, for proper mounting. It is appropriate for light production environments, detailing shops, and technicians learning compound finishing techniques on passenger vehicles and light trucks.
