3M 05733 Perfect It Ultrafine Polishing Pad, 8 inch

This pad polishes much easier than a cheap one.

After a good clay cleansing, and a paint restorer paste; I close my cleaning journey with this pad. No swirls, no residue = clean shinny black paint . I do recommend it among friends.

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

as promised and works well

Very nice pad for use with the Ultra Fine polish.

This is what pros use perfect line is the best out there

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.

This waffle head when used with

Used this pad a couple of times now with excellent results. Works extremely well with any high quality clearcoat safe polish. Under most circumstances, it doesnt look like the recessed areas of the pad ever touch the finish - youd have to apply a lot of pressure to achieve that on a smooth surface. The very fine texture of this pad is ideal for bringing a good finish to a bring shine. Cant speak to durability just yet but Ive rinsed/cleaned this pad a few times now and it looks like it is holding up well. This is what I would call a professional quality pad and will definitely use other variations of this line going forward.

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