The 3M Tack Pad has been developed especially for the automotive aftermarket to remove dirt, lint, dust and sanding particles prior to spraying primers, base coat or clear coat paints. Based on 3M’s non-woven technology, the pad’s tacky surface picks up dust and the three-dimensional web inside absorbs dust particles. Use it on metal, plastic, fiberglass or wood.

Thoroughly Removes Dirt and Dust Without Leaving Drag Marks
To achieve a perfect paint job all loose dirt and dust particles must be removed without leaving surface marks. Our 3M Tack Pad absorbs dust into the pad as it glides across the surface without leaving any surface marks behind, reducing rework. The conformable pad reaches dust on all surfaces of the workpiece, whether flat, contoured or grooved. It is designed to work with all modern paint systems, including water-based paints, and can even help remove light nibs.

Tacky Fibers Grab Dust From the Workpiece but Won't Leave Hands Sticky
A slightly tacky adhesive is distributed evenly throughout the product so you can use the pad again and again with the same efficient results. This adhesive is engineered to pick up dust without leaving behind any inconvenient adhesive residue on the workpiece or your hands. For even longer life, the adhesive will not dry out, so you get full use of the pad until the adhesive is exhausted.

Optional Pad Dispenser Offers Clean, Ready Access
A wall mountable 3M Tack Pad Dispenser (sold separately) keeps the pads free from contamination and makes them readily accessible.

When thorough surface preparation is essential, finish off with a 3M Tack Pad for best results.
