Meguiar's Professional 3" Compound Foam Pads *3-Pack

Why you'll want it

• Cut out heavy scratches and swirls. The foam is made for heavy-cut compounding work. It takes out scratches, acid rain marks, swirls, holograms and sanding marks.
• Use them with the polisher you have. They work with a rotary polisher, a dual-action polisher or a power drill. Each pad is 3 inches across, so it fits a 3-inch backing plate.
• Wash them and use them again. Rinse them after each use and let them air dry. When the foam wears down or packs flat, swap in a new pad.
• Get the paint work done before winter. Fall is a good time to take care of heavy paint defects before the boat goes into winter storage.

What it is

These are Meguiar's Professional 3-inch Compound Foam Pads, sold as a 3-pack. They are foam pads for paint correction, the work of cutting out defects in a paint surface. They are used with a compound of your choice.

How to use it

1. Put a pad on the 3-inch backing plate that matches your polisher.
2. Add the compound you have chosen to the pad.
3. Move the pad over the paint in even passes that overlap.
4. Rinse the pad with water after each use to remove the compound.
5. Let the pad air dry completely before you store it.

What else the job needs

Good to have on hand: a Meguiar's compound, which these pads are made to pair with, and a polisher that takes a 3-inch backing plate.
