3M™ paint and body fine scuff pad is designed for scuffing base, primed, or painted surfaces for better adhesion of new coats of primer or paint. Non-woven nylon fiber pad will not rust, splinter or shred like steel wool and features long-lasting, fast cutting aluminum oxide abrasive. Flexible pad is great for hard to reach areas. The washable, reusable pad rinses clean. A pad designed specifically for scuff sanding. Ideal for use during stage 3 of the 3M™ body repair system, the 3M™ paint and body fine scuff pad is designed for scuffing base, primed or painted surfaces before base coat and clear coat application. This pad features a durable nylon backing. The entire pad is resin coated, so neither the backing nor the abrasive will deposit tiny particles on the surface, helping to ensure a smooth finish. The pad is ideal for scuff sanding, and is also suitable for removing light surface rust. It can be used wet or dry and rinses clean for repeat use. What is scuff sanding instead of sandpaper, which is used for stripping paint or smoothing filler during auto body work, the 3M™ paint and body fine scuff pad is designed for scuff sanding, a less aggressive job where instead of sanding down to the bare material, you simply add to the primed or coated surface. This process essentially leaves the surface slightly textured. Scuff sanding is often necessary because most modern base and clear coat paint systems rely on a chemical bond for strength and durability. These systems may not be able to establish this chemical bond with your existing surface. About the 3M™ body repair system even a small repair can seem complex at first.

Stage 3 paint - this stage includes painting the area and blending and smoothing primer and paint. Stage 4 finish - the final stage for showroom grade results removing small defects, sealing and polishing clear coats and other painted surfaces. 3M™ supplies premium products such as abrasives, tapes, body fillers and tools for every stage.
