What is this stuff?

[ScubaStevo]

Hey everyone,



My dad knows some people from 3M and he convinced them to give me some donations for my business.



I got 5 bottles of 3M Finesse-it, Final Polish, and 5 of these things. They`re 5 inches in diameter. I`d like to know how good they are, and if they`re good for paint.



What type of cutting power does the 3m product have? How much cut does the pad have?



Thanks everyone. :woot:

Sorry, I was in a hurry as I was late for work. What kind of cutting power do these pads have? Are they paint safe or are they made for some other surface? Do you know how they compare to normal pads? The foam is very dense.

Do they have a part number on them? How about the color and are they flat or a waffle surface?



The ones I have used are a soft grey foam with a waffle (rather than flat) surface and are about 8" or 9" (for rotary use). You may want to look around the 3M site and see if you can find the pads you`re talking about:

Here is a picture of the pad. I couldn`t find it on the site.
