3M Perfect-It 1 Foam Finishing Pad

3M Perfect-It 1 Foam Finishing Pad is a blue-colored, high-performance paint finishing pad designed to be used with Perfect-it 1 Finishing Material (sold separately) to remove 3M Trizact abrasive scratches.

An Alternative Option for Traditional Compounding

3M Perfect-It 1 Foam Finishing Pad was engineered to help operators forego compounding and still achieve a polished appearance. When used as a system with 3M Perfect-It 1 Finishing Material, this combination cuts like a compound but handles and finishes like a polish. It allows you to eliminate the use of a traditional rubbing compound pad and machine polishing pads while still leaving a high gloss finish with minimum swirl marks.

For optimal performance, it’s important the surface has been thoroughly sanded prior to polishing. Once the surface has been adequately prepped for polishing, apply 3M Perfect-it 1 Finishing Material to the panel and hold the finishing pad as flat as possible. The blue-colored pad corresponds with the blue-color liquid and cap on the Perfect-It Finishing material. We created these corresponding color schemes to help operators who conduct multiple applications in the shop keep track and minimize errors.
