Why it works

Random orbit, fewer mistakes

  • No swirls or holograms. 3M builds the RO system to avoid swirls, holograms and burn-through.
  • Variable speed. A speed dial and a progressive-speed trigger.
  • Long cord. 3M calls it generously long.
  • A full system. Matched RO pads, RO Compound and RO Polish.
Let the tool do it. 3M's directions: spread product at speed 2, compound at speeds 4–6 with no downward pressure, and polish at speed 4 at most. Work a 2 ft × 2 ft area in a crosshatch; if defects remain, add 4 drops and keep going.
How to use

Compounding and polishing

  1. Center the pad and press it onto the backup pad.
  2. Apply RO Compound to a white wool or foam compounding pad and spread it at speed 2.
  3. Compound at speeds 4–6 with no pressure, working 2 ft × 2 ft in a crosshatch.
  4. Switch to a purple foam polishing pad with RO Polish and polish at speed 4 or below.
  5. Wipe off residue with a detailing cloth.
