3M 7100145353 Wool Buffing Pad 9 Inches Quick Connect

Product Description

The 3M 7100145353 is a 9-inch diameter wool buffing backing pad designed for use with rotary and random-orbital polishers in automotive, marine, and industrial surface finishing applications. The pad uses a quick-connect attachment system, allowing fast tool changes without threading or separate hardware. Constructed from white wool, it provides the cutting action needed for compounding and heavy correction work on painted surfaces. At 1.2 pounds, the pad maintains enough mass for consistent contact pressure across the work surface. This pad is installed and used by auto body technicians, detailers, and surface finishing professionals.

This backing pad is suited for compounding stages of paint correction where aggressive material removal is required. It is commonly used on automotive panels, boat gelcoat, and industrial coatings in both shop and field environments. The wool construction makes it appropriate for cutting through oxidation, scratch removal, and defect leveling prior to finishing steps. The 9-inch diameter covers larger surface areas efficiently, reducing cycle time on flat body panels and hoods.

Key Features

• 9-inch diameter wool face for high-cutting compounding work
• Quick-connect attachment for fast, tool-free pad changes
• White wool material suitable for paint correction and surface finishing

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by detailing and surface finishing technicians. Ensure the polisher is powered off and unplugged before attaching or removing the pad. Align the quick-connect fitting squarely before engaging to avoid cross-threading or connector damage. Inspect the wool face and backing plate interface before each use to confirm secure seating.
