The disc uses a nonabrasive coating on film, so the pad itself does not cut the surface and instead lets the compound do the work when refining finishes. A pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) sanding pad backing lets the disc bond firmly to a compatible backup pad, helping the pad stay flat while you polish. The 5 inch round size suits detailed work where you want room to move the tool but still keep the polishing area focused.

Key Polishing Film Details For Finish Work

• The 5 inch round pad size focuses Finesse-It compound to a defined area, which helps installers control polishing passes on doors, panels, or parts without drifting into adjacent surfaces.
• The nonabrasive coating on film means the disc carries compound without adding its own cut, so users can refine existing finishes when the goal is polish rather than stock removal.
• The PSA sanding pads backing creates a secure bond to a compatible backup pad, so the disc stays in place during polishing and helps maintain even contact across the work surface.
• Designed as a carrier for Finesse-It polishing compound, the 968M construction supports a consistent layer of compound, which aids in achieving uniform gloss across the polished area.
• The no hole, non-vacuum design keeps the disc face uninterrupted, so compound stays on the working surface instead of being drawn away by vacuum airflow.

Polishing Pad Setup And Surface Contact Use

The 5 inch non vacuum PSA sanding pad layout gives installers straightforward setup on a compatible backup pad, since the PSA backing bonds when pressed into place. The no hole, non-vacuum construction presents a continuous face to the work, so compound remains between the polishing film and the surface.

The PSA sanding pads backing keeps the disc fixed on a compatible backup pad, so during repeated passes the contact area stays stable and repeatable. The no hole, non-vacuum configuration keeps the working face solid, so compound stays at the interface between disc and workpiece instead of being pulled through holes, supporting consistent gloss development from one part to the next.
