3M™ Perfect-It™ Low Lint Wool Compounding Pad 4 Inch, 30040, Single Sided, 2 pads per bag, 6 bags per case

Fast-Cutting Wool with Less Lint for Effective Compounding
Featuring a 100% wool abrasive that quickly refines paint defects including sand scratches of P1200 or finer, our 3M™ Perfect-It™ Low Lint Wool Compounding Pad is excellent for the compounding process in collision repair. These fast-cutting single-sided pads feature 100% wool fibers which are individually stitched to the pad instead of twisted into tufts. This means that the fibers hold more securely to the pad vs. twisted fibers during use, greatly reducing the chance of lint particles which can add cleanup time and even rework. A 4" diameter is great for control and access when compounding small areas and in tight spaces. Compounding pads feature insets for quick attachment to rotary polishers and Hookit™ hook-and-loop attachment for easy pad change-outs.

Another Perfect-It™ Top Performer
We developed these low-lint wool pads as part of our Perfect-It™ Paint Finishing System to keep pace with evolving paint and clear coat technologies. 3M™ Perfect-It™ Low Lint Wool Compounding Pads are made in the USA with globally sourced materials. They are best used in conjunction with Perfect-It™ EX Rubbing Compound and attach quickly to rotary polishers. 3M recommends using these pads with 3M™ Buffer, Pistol Grip, 3 Inch, PN28354.

Single-Sided Foam Pads and Our Hookit™ Attachment System
The Hookit™ attachment system has a hook-and-loop feature which makes attachment, removal, and re-attachment clean and easy. It also facilitates use and re-use of the Perfect-It™ pad for maximum product life. Hookit™ sheets have a brushed nylon loop backing of the type most commonly used in everyday hook-and-loop applications. The 3M™ Perfect-It™ Low Lint Wool Compounding Pad features hooks which grip the brushed nylon loop backing of your Hookit™ backup pad. It's simple: just attach the pad and start compounding. The pad removes just as cleanly and easily. The Hookit™ system is designed for work spaces and applications where adhesive backed abrasives may become contaminated by dust, dirt or debris.
