3M 7100145281 Foam Buffing Pad 8 Inches Quick Connect

Product Description

The 3M 7100145281 is an 8-inch diameter foam buffing backing pad designed for use with quick connect polishing systems. Built from foam and finished in blue, this pad is engineered to support ultrafine polishing and general buffing operations on a variety of surfaces. It attaches quickly to compatible backing plate systems using a quick connect interface, reducing changeover time during multi-step finishing work. The lightweight construction, weighing approximately 0.13 pounds, makes it easy to handle during extended polishing sessions. It is suited for professional finishing technicians working in automotive, industrial, or surface prep environments.

This pad is typically used in surface finishing applications where consistent, controlled polishing is required. The foam construction allows for even pressure distribution across the pad face, which helps produce a uniform finish on painted or coated surfaces. The quick connect attachment type makes it compatible with polishing systems that accept this connector style, streamlining pad swaps between polishing stages. It is sold individually and is appropriate for shops or field technicians performing single or multi-stage paint correction and ultrafine polishing work.
