3M 05733 Perfect It Ultrafine Polishing Pad, 8 inch

Polishes well but I dont know if it is washable. Pores tend to clog up in pad when buffing

works well for fine polishing

This is for finishing and does a great job. Removal of swirl marks and all residue. Wish they would last longer. This is a home shop tool not commercial in any way. You get about 2-3 uses maximum.

Good price for a 3M pad highly recommended.

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.

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.

It works very well, it does what its suppose to do, I just dont like having to get out there and using it .
