The 3M™ Finesse-It™ Knit II Buffing Pad is made from wool fibres, trimmed to 17mm in length and pre-washed to reduce loose fibres. Designed with a Hookit™ attachment system for use with Finesse-It™ Polishes.
Trimmed to a specific pile height, 3M™ Finesse-it™ Knit II Buffing Pad are excellent for compounding and polishing in hard to access areas. Our pads feature wool fibres knitted into a polyester fabric backing. These buffing pads are pre-washed to minimise lint discharge. They conform well on irregular surfaces and will remove finishing abrasive sand scratches, oxidation and paint surface defects. Wool buffing pads are generally more aggressive and easier to control than foam pads. They have a greater available cutting surface area due to the presence of thousands of fibres. These fibres provide faster cutting action than foam pads and hold the polish to provide even distribution of material, requiring less pressure from the operator. The nap helps them glide and conform to contours, making them easier to control than foam pads. Due to their cutting ability, they are effective for removing sanding scratches and perform best on rotary type buffing tools. Depending on the polish type, individual technique, composition of the coating and the tool used, finishing with a wool pad may require a follow-up step with a foam pad and polish to remove micro-marring or swirl marks. These pads contain 3M Hookit™ attachment system for quick pad mounting and removal – also to secure them in place during use. They quickly and firmly attach to a hook-and-loop backup disc pad (sold separately) on rotary or random orbital tools, are removed easily and can be re-used for the life of the pad. 3M Finesse-it products are specially designed compounds and polishes to be used on OEM and baked refinish paints. They remove sand scratches, defects and swirl marks on a variety of painted surfaces. 3M Finesse-it products are an integral part of our recommended buffing system for repairing surface defects to clear coats, lacquered wood, solid surfaces, gelcoat, powder coat, industrial paint, acrylic and glass.
