3M 7100081911 Wool Knit Ii Buffing Pad 7 Inch 10 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7100081911 is a low-lint wool knit buffing pad designed for compounding and polishing automotive OEM, marine, and aerospace coatings. Wool fibers are knit into a polyester fabric backing, delivering faster cutting action and more even polish distribution than foam alternatives. The pad is trimmed to a 0.5-inch pile height and pre-washed to reduce lint discharge during use. It attaches via the Hookit hook-and-loop system, mounting quickly to a compatible backup disc pad on rotary or random orbital tools. Rated to 6000 RPM, it handles aggressive defect removal while conforming well to irregular and contoured surfaces.

This pad is suited for professional finishing operations where sanding scratches, oxidation, and paint surface defects need to be corrected on hard-to-reach or irregular panel areas. The knit construction allows the pad to flex and conform across compound curves common in marine hull work, aerospace components, and automotive body panels. It is designed for use with Finesse-it Finishing Material or Finesse-it Final Finish products. Because wool pads can introduce micro-marring on some coating types, a follow-up step with a foam pad may be needed depending on polish type, coating composition, and technique.

Key Features

• Wool fibers knit into polyester backing for aggressive cutting and even polish distribution
• Pre-washed construction minimizes lint discharge during buffing operations
• 0.5-inch pile height trimmed to spec for access in tight or contoured areas
• Hookit hook-and-loop attachment mounts and releases cleanly from backup disc pads
• Rated to 6000 RPM for use on rotary and random orbital tools
• Conforms to irregular surfaces to remove sand scratches, oxidation, and surface defects

Compatibility

Designed for use with Finesse-it Finishing Material and Finesse-it Final Finish compounds. Requires a separate hook-and-loop backup disc pad for mounting on rotary or random orbital buffing tools. Suited for OEM and baked refinish paints on automotive, marine, and aerospace coated surfaces.

Installation Notes

These pads are installed and removed by hand onto a hook-and-loop backup disc pad — no tools required for pad changes. Ensure the backup disc pad surface is clean and free of contamination before attachment to maintain secure hold at operating speed. Do not exceed the 6000 RPM rating. After use on heavily defected surfaces, inspect the pad for embedded compound buildup and clean or replace as needed to maintain consistent finishing results.
