3M 7100276845 Foam Compounding Pad 2-pack

Product Description

The 3M 7100276845 is a single-sided foam compounding pad sold in a 2-pack, designed for use with random orbital polishers in automotive paint finishing applications. The firm yet flexible foam construction delivers the cutting action needed to remove defects from painted surfaces and clear coats without introducing haze, swirl marks, holograms, or burn-through. A lint-free foam formula reduces sling compared to rotary tooling, which keeps the work area cleaner and speeds up the detailing process. The pad attaches via 3M Hookit hook-and-loop backing for fast, tool-free pad changes during production work.

This pad is part of the 3M Perfect-It Random Orbital Paint Finishing System, a coordinated line of pads, compounds, and polishers engineered to work together. It is suited for body shop technicians and detailing professionals working on passenger vehicles, light trucks, and fleet units. The firm foam profile follows body panel contours without losing contact on curved surfaces, making it effective on doors, hoods, quarter panels, and bumpers finished in a range of OEM and refinish clear coat systems.

Key Features

• Lint-free foam construction delivers a high-gloss, haze-free, swirl-free finish
• Firm foam resists the oscillating and circular motion of random orbital polishers while conforming to body contours
• 3M Hookit hook-and-loop backing allows fast pad changes without tools
• Reduced sling compared to rotary tooling simplifies cleanup
• Engineered to pair with 3M Perfect-It Random Orbital Compound for matched system performance
• Sold as a 2-pack for continuous workflow on multi-panel jobs

Compatibility

Engineered for use with the 3M Perfect-It Random Orbital Polishing System. Pads are available in 5-inch and 6-inch diameters. Confirm pad diameter matches the backing plate of the random orbital polisher in use before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation and pad changes should be performed with the polisher powered off and unplugged or with the battery removed. Seat the Hookit pad firmly onto the backing plate before starting the tool to ensure full attachment. Automotive refinish technicians and professional detailers are the typical end users for this product. Follow the compound and polish manufacturer application guidelines for speed settings and pass counts.
