3M Finesse-it Buffing Pad 02648B

The 3M Finesse-It 02648B Buffing Pad delivers smooth and consistent polishing results on automotive paint, gelcoat, and clearcoat surfaces. With its 3¼-inch (≈ 80 mm) diameter, it provides precision and control — ideal for small panels, tight areas, edges, or trim parts that larger pads can’t reach.

This pad uses soft orange foam that follows surface contours gently. Because of its softness, it reduces the risk of swirl marks or surface damage. When used with polish or finishing compound, the pad spreads product evenly. That results in a glossy, swirl-free finish with minimal effort.

The hook & loop (Hookit™) backing makes pad changes fast and easy. After use, you simply pull off the pad and attach a clean one — no mess, no glue. That saves time in busy detailing or body-work sessions.

Furthermore, the 02648B works well with orbital polishers or rotary machines — as long as you keep RPM within safe limits. The foam’s soft structure reduces heat buildup. This minimizes the chance of paint burn, especially on sensitive clearcoats or thin factory paint.

The pad suits both small-scale DIY jobs and professional detailing work. Use it for:

•final polishing after paint or clearcoat

•swirl removal and buffing

•finishing gelcoat on boats or RVs

•polishing trim, fenders, or bumpers

•restoring gloss on oxidized or dull surfaces

Because this is a pack of 10, you get great value. You can rotate pads — use fresh ones for each job — which keeps polishing consistent. Also, the pads are reusable: rinse them after use, let dry, and you can reuse the same pad multiple times.

Overall, the 3M Finesse-It 02648B Buffing Pad gives you an easy way to achieve a clean, high-gloss surface. It combines soft foam, small size, and hook-and-loop convenience. Those traits make it a solid choice for anyone aiming for swirl-free polishing and professional finish quality.
