3M 05733 Perfect It Ultrafine Polishing Pad, 8 inch

For a final seal, we use Meguiars Mirror Glaze 21 and this polishing pad. This pad uses a hook/loop (Velcro) attachment system. The combination of this ultrafine foam polishing pad with the Meguiars Mirror Glaze, leaves the finish of our car, mirror like. Very happy with this final polishing pad. After use, we thoroughly rinse the pad out when finished. The glaze is a pain to rinse out of the pad as the glaze doesnt want to rinse out of the pad. Thats not a knock on the pad or the glaze, just a comment that the glaze is stubborn about rinsing out of the pad. I let the pad air dry and when time to reuse the pad, I wet (dampen) the pad before applying fresh sealant to the pad. As long as the pad is well treated (thoroughly cleaned and rinsed of any finish scratching debris), this pad will provide you with long service. How long of service will depend on the individual as nobody wants scratches to develop in their finish due to not replacing their finishing pad. Just saying, our car has a thirteen year old, never been garaged finish so Im a bit more forgiving than one might be who has a hundred thousand dollar car thats showroom fresh. This is a beautiful product that does a killer job bringing out the final sealant finish on your paint. Agreed, a lot of effort goes into getting to this final step and I feel total comfortable recommending this product for a final finish pad.

Very nice pad for use with the Ultra Fine polish.

great product

Awesome

These pads work great for high speed polishing. Im on my 3rd pad and I have never has a problem with them burning the paint. Couldnt be easier to use and beats doing it by hand.

As with all 3M product, works great. Definitely brought out the shine in our vehicles along with using the corresponding polish, plus saved a ton versus having the body shop do the work.

thanks

This is the best pad on the market PERIOD. It is uniform , dense and very soft for consistent results. Absolutely necessary for final finish or final steps in ultra fine results. Holds material very well, far better than the non-waffle pads. Much less spatter even at 1500 rpms. I used it with the Ultra fine 3M machine polish and 3M machine glaze for dark colors. Works very fast , with good edge protection and uniform pressure over the pad.

I bought these after using the flat foam polishing pads. These work so much better and use less polishing compound. This saves money.

Theses pads design is made to make you waste a lot of compound. Maybe that is exactly what 3M wants so you spend more money on their products. it doesnt retain the liquid at all !!!!. Once you start your polisher there is stuff all over the places, That did not happened at all with a flat foam or shallower mountains pad I have used in the past.
