9 In Blended Wool Buffing Pad

This 3M 05704 buffing pad features blended wool construction with a heavy nap texture. It measures 8 inches in outside diameter and 2 inches thick. The pad attaches via an unthreaded centre hole and is designed for use with polishers on painted surfaces. Maximum operating speed is 2,000 RPM.

Professional Detailers and Paint Correction

Suited for technicians performing compounding work on automotive paint finishes. The heavy nap wool material delivers aggressive cutting action for defect removal. Not intended for finishing or polishing stages that require softer foam or microfiber pads. Buyers needing a finer finish should select a different pad type.

2 000 RPM Maximum Speed Rating

The 2,000 RPM limit determines tool compatibility and safe operation. Exceeding this speed risks pad disintegration and surface damage. Verify your polisher’s maximum speed before use. This single specification governs whether the pad matches your equipment and application.

Questions about this item

What size backing plate does the 8-inch 3M 05704 pad require?

The pad has an 8-inch outside diameter and an unthreaded center hole, so it mounts on a standard 8-inch backing plate with a matching centre-hole pattern.

How do I attach the pad to my polisher and what is the common mistake?

Centre the unthreaded hole over the backing plate, press firmly to engage the hook-and-loop face, then spin the tool briefly to seat it; the frequent error is leaving the pad off-centre, which causes vibration and uneven wear.

When should I replace the blended wool pad during compounding work?

Replace it once the heavy nap becomes matted, glazed over with dried compound, or starts shedding fibres, as a worn pad cuts poorly and can leave swirl marks on paint.
