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.

Dont go cheap buy 3m

Awesome

Never used polishes before but boy are the results amazing! I have come to trust the 3M brand with all applications they make and this was no different. When paired with

Well-made, works great and seems like it will last a long time. I used it with 3M Perfect-It Ultra-fine machine polish on my PC random orbital after clay barring my car and the finish is like new.

Great pad but a little hard to keep clean with wax build up inside the pad. Overall a very good pad!

These polishing foam pads are perfect for waxing and buffing. They are used on farm equipment and hold up well. The price was about 1/2 of what I would have paid in the store so a great find!

Pad is grate for Black paint to take out all the small swirl marks. Comes out great for the final polish!!

Have used other brand but this was my first from 3M. So far I have only used it once but am pleased with the results it produced. Other brands seemed to wear out rather quickly so Im hoping that this will last at least several uses.

Does twice the work in a single pass over the garbage made in china
