8-Inch Foam Polishing Pad with Waffle Face

This 3M pad attaches to a polisher using a hook-and-loop backing for paint correction work. The blue foam construction and waffle texture help distribute compound evenly across the surface. It is designed for detailers and technicians who need a dedicated polishing step in their finishing process.

Hook-and-Loop Attachment for Quick Changes

The backing allows the pad to be pressed onto a compatible support plate and removed without tools. Centring the pad on the plate prevents vibration at speed. Running the tool above the rated maximum can cause the foam to tear or detach from the backing.

Rated for 2,000 RPM on Paint Surfaces

At the rated speed the pad handles polishing compounds on automotive paint with consistent pressure. Exceeding the limit reduces control and can burn the finish. The foam thickness provides cushioning but will compress under heavy downforce, limiting cut on severely damaged clear coat.
