Product Description

The 3M 7100145283 is an 8-inch black foam polishing pad designed for machine polishing applications in automotive paint finishing. It works with 3M machine polishes to remove compound swirl marks and fine paint surface defects, leaving a clean, refined surface. The pad features a quick connect design that allows fast attachment and removal from compatible backing plates and adaptors. Its double-sided construction extends usable life between replacements. This pad is sold individually and is suited for professional detailers and body shop technicians performing multi-step paint correction or finishing work.

This foam polishing pad is intended for use with 3M machine polishes and the 3M Quick Connect Adaptor part number 05752. The quick connect interface simplifies pad changes during multi-step correction processes, reducing downtime on the job. The black foam formulation is matched to polishing compounds rather than aggressive cutting compounds, making it appropriate for finishing stages where surface clarity and gloss are the primary goals. It is commonly used in automotive refinishing shops and professional detailing environments.
