3M Scotch-Brite™ Hand Pad

Achieve a professional-grade finish for all your marine and transport maintenance projects with the industry-leading 3M Scotch-Brite™ Hand Pad. Engineered for superior performance and consistency, this is the essential tool for boat owners, marine technicians, and transport maintenance professionals who demand flawless results. Whether you are preparing surfaces for a new coat of paint, cleaning delicate equipment, or putting the final touches on a repair, the Scotch-Brite™ Hand Pad delivers exceptional quality without compromising the integrity of your surfaces.

The unique, non-woven construction of these pads sets them apart from traditional abrasives like steel wool or sandpaper. This advanced design ensures a uniform, consistent cutting action from start to finish. Unlike steel wool, Scotch-Brite™ pads will never rust, shred, or leave behind fine metal splinters that can contaminate your workpiece and cause corrosion issues, a critical advantage in any marine environment. The open-web material resists loading, allowing debris to escape, which extends the pad´s life and maintains its effectiveness. Simply rinse and reuse for maximum value.

Experience unparalleled versatility and control. The flexible nature of the 3M Scotch-Brite™ Hand Pad allows it to conform effortlessly to irregular shapes, curved hulls, railings, and tight corners where rigid blocks and sandpaper cannot reach. This ensures an even scuff pattern and a perfectly prepared surface every time, leading to better adhesion for paints, primers, and varnishes. Use them for a wide array of applications on your boat and transport equipment, including scuffing gelcoat for repairs, cleaning and brightening aluminum and stainless steel, removing light rust and oxidation, and preparing wood brightwork for finishing.

Scotch-BriteTM Hand Pads may be used by hand on a hand pad block or on an in-line sander.

From prepping a fiberglass hull for anti-fouling paint to finishing custom vehicle parts, the 3M Scotch-Brite™ Hand Pad is the trusted choice for achieving a pristine, durable, and professional look. Elevate your maintenance and restoration work by choosing the abrasive technology that professionals rely on for consistent, high-quality results
