High Performance Wool Compounding Pad Excels at Scratch Removal and Refinement

3M™ Perfect-It™ products help paint shops save time and money by efficiently removing sand scratches from freshly painted surfaces. 3M designed the 3M™ Perfect-It™ Wool Compound Pad with 100% wool for your most aggressive scratch removal applications. Part of a highly efficient system for paint defect repair, the Perfect-It™ Wool Compound Pad is 3M's highest performing wool compounding pad, whether single or double-sided. Wool cuts faster than foam, and stays cooler by creating less friction and dissipating heat through the wool fibers. This makes it preferable for heat-sensitive areas of a car, boat, or plane, such as spoilers and bumpers.

Wool pads also handle better than flat foam pads, meaning the operator gains a smoother and more controlled application. Wool glides easily over panels, whether flat or contoured. Spurring the wool fibers each morning before the first use restores performance. Compound with the pad flat against the part for a more even application and to reduce slinging.

Use a Perfect-It™ Wool Compound Pad to refine P1200 and finer sand scratches and other paint surface defects. 3M highly recommends pairing the pad with Perfect-It™ EX Rubbing Compound to produce first-rate results on fresh paint and clearcoat finishes and avoid rework.
