3M 7100336153 Foam Buffing Pad 3.25 in Hook Loop 12000 Rpm

Product Description

The 3M 7100336153 is a foam buffing pad from the Finesse-it line, designed for surface finishing and polishing applications. The pad features a convolute foam construction measuring 3.25 inches in diameter and attaches via a hook and loop mounting system for fast, secure tool changes. Rated to a maximum of 12000 RPM, it is suited for use with compatible rotary and orbital polishing tools. Licensed auto body technicians, detailers, and finishing tradespeople are the primary installers. The blue foam construction provides visual identification during multi-pad workflows.

This pad is used in automotive refinishing, marine surface finishing, and industrial polishing operations where a foam buffing interface is required between the machine and the workpiece. The hook and loop attachment style allows the pad to be swapped quickly across compatible backing plates without tools. It is sold in quantities of 10 per carton and 120 per case, making it practical for shop-level consumption. Applications typically include compounding residue removal, light defect finishing, and gloss enhancement on painted or gel-coat surfaces.
