3M Perfect-It Random Orbital Foam Polishing Pad-5″/130 mm-Purple-34123

High‑Quality Polishing Pad for Orbital Machines

The 3M Perfect‑It 34123 Foam Polishing Pad gives detailers and body shops a reliable tool for paint correction, compounding, and polishing. With a 5” (130 mm) diameter, this pad balances reach and control — perfect for random‑orbital polishers on cars, motorcycles, and smaller panels. Because of its size, you handle both broad surfaces and tighter contours easily.

Smooth Foam Construction for Even Results

This foam pad uses a dense yet flexible foam that distributes pressure evenly during polishing. As a result, it prevents heat buildup, reduces swirl marks, and helps you achieve a consistent finish. The pad couples well with compounds, polishes, or glazes — and it adapts to paint imperfections, sanding marks, or surface oxidation.

Efficient Compounding and Polishing Workflow

When you attach this pad to your polisher, you can start compounding or polishing without fuss. The foam quickly spreads polish, blending imperfections effectively. Moreover, it allows controlled removal of light scratches, oxidation, or swirl marks. After compounding, you can switch to a finishing pad or use the same pad with a polish for final shine.

Versatility and Safety for Paintwork

Because the 3M Perfect‑It pad offers gentle but effective abrasion, it suits a variety of paint types: OEM, refinished, clear coats, and even older paint jobs needing restoration. Its foam softness reduces the risk of burning or scorching the paint, which is crucial for sensitive surfaces and clearcoat finishes.

Long‑Lasting and Easy to Maintain

After use, you can clean the pad by rinsing off polish residues. Once dry, it retains its shape and performance over many cycles. This durability makes it a smart investment — especially for busy workshops or frequent DIY detailers.
