3M 7100145279 Ultrafine Foam Polishing Pad 6 in

Product Description

The 3M 7100145279 is an ultrafine foam polishing pad designed for the final stages of paint correction and surface finishing. Measuring 6 inches in diameter, it is engineered to work with dual-action and rotary polishers to deliver a high-clarity, swirl-free finish on automotive and industrial painted surfaces. The open-cell foam construction distributes polishing compound evenly across the work surface, reducing the risk of heat buildup and surface marring during operation. This pad is sold individually and weighs 0.83 pounds. It is suited for detailing professionals, body shop technicians, and surface finishing specialists who require consistent, repeatable results on clear coat and painted panels.

This polishing pad is used in the finishing step of a multi-stage paint correction process, following cutting and light polishing stages. It is appropriate for use on automotive clear coats, gel coats, and similarly finished surfaces in both professional shop environments and mobile detailing applications. The ultrafine foam grade targets fine swirl marks, light hazing, and polishing compound residue left from earlier correction stages, bringing surfaces to a final gloss level.

Installation Notes

This pad is installed by pressing the hook-and-loop backing firmly onto a compatible 6-inch polisher backing plate before use. Ensure the polisher is powered off and unplugged before attaching or removing the pad. Prime the pad with a small amount of polishing compound before initial use. Inspect the pad regularly for tears, glazing, or embedded debris, and retire the pad if the foam shows signs of breakdown that could compromise surface quality.
