3D's Interface Pads are designed specifically for he 3D ACA Flex Sanding Discs. The 3D Interface Pad offers the perfect balance of medium density foam rubber to smooth out the oscillating action while maintaining a flat surface to efficiently sand only the high point until they are level with the low points on the surface.
The hooks used for the sanding disc side are flat-style micro-hooks. They offer excellent attachment strength while virtually eliminating any horizontal torsional movement between the sanding dis and the interface pad. The flat-style micro-hooks keep the face of the sanding disc damn near flat against the surface.
This means there's simply no "wiggle" between the interface pad and the sanding disc. This transfers all the oscillating action from the polisher/sander to the surface of the paint without variation. The results are a dramatically flatter sanding action to keep the sanding where you want it - on the high points on the surface.
Non-3D interface pads will decrease 3D Sanding Disc performance and increase the risk for pigtails. This is because the wrong style hook will cause the sanding disc to abrade the high points and the low points at the same time. You are wasting perfectly good time and paint by taking down the entire surface equally, when you only want to abrade the high points.
Don't get caught in the misconception that all hook-n-loop style interface pads are the same. The 3D Interface Pad is optimized for 3D Flex Sanding Discs. This enables the face of the sanding disc to abrade only the high points so you can remove only the orange peel while leaving more of the lower-level paint on the surface!
