3M 7100082540 Foam Buffing Pad 3.25 in Green Hook Loop

Product Description

The 3M 7100082540 is a foam buffing pad designed for light surface finishing and polishing applications. Measuring 3.25 inches in diameter and 0.13 inches in height, this compact pad attaches via a hook and loop system for quick mounting and removal. It is rated for use up to 12,000 RPM, making it compatible with a range of rotary and orbital tools. The green foam construction provides a consistent buffing surface suitable for detail work on smaller surface areas. Detailing technicians, automotive service professionals, and finishing tradespeople use this pad for controlled buffing tasks where precision matters.

This pad is suited for use on trim panels, tight contours, and smaller surface sections where a full-size pad would be impractical. Its hook and loop attachment makes it a fast swap on compatible backing plates used in automotive detailing, surface prep, and light polishing work. The single-pack format is appropriate for job-site use or as a replacement in a multi-pad rotation. The foam material is intended for dry or light-compound applications typical of finish polishing stages.

Installation Notes

This pad is installed by a detailing or finishing technician by pressing the hook and loop face firmly onto a compatible backing plate before tool operation. Confirm the backing plate diameter matches the pad diameter before use. Inspect the pad surface for tears or foam degradation before each use and replace if damaged. Do not exceed the 12,000 RPM rated speed of the pad.
