Almohadilla de pulido de resina de 3" - Grano 3000

- Highest-grit resin polishing pad for ultra-fine finish on detail work — 3000 grit is the final step in the standard resin polishing sequence, delivering the mirror-like ultra-high-gloss finish that defines premium polished concrete. Used after the 1500-grit step to develop the deepest reflective shine the floor can hold. The 3" size is the standard format for detail polishing, countertop edges, stair nosings, integral coves, and any work too small or precise for a 5" or 7" pad.

- Compact 3" diameter for the tightest detail areas — the 3" footprint is engineered for spots where even a 5" pad can't reach: tight inside corners, narrow recessed bands, around plumbing penetrations, on countertop edges and bullnoses, and on stair treads. At 3000 grit, the goal is mirror gloss matching the main floor — uneven pressure or skipped grits earlier in the sequence become extremely visible at this stage.

- Dry use is standard at 3000 grit — per industry guidance, the final 3000-grit pad is typically run dry to build burnish heat that develops the deepest gloss. Wet operation works but produces a slightly less reflective finish. Run at the polisher's lower RPM range to avoid overheating the resin matrix, which can glaze the pad and stop cutting entirely.

- Requires a 3" backing pad with hook-and-loop attachment — the standard mount is a 5/8"-11 threaded backer for hand polishers, or an M14 backer for grinders with metric spindles. The backer's diameter must match the pad's diameter — never run a 3" pad on a 4" or 5" backer (exposed hook-and-loop at high RPM is a safety hazard). Most variable-speed hand polishers run 3" pads optimally in the 1,500–3,000 RPM range; reduce speed for the 3000-grit final pass.

- The "mirror finish" step — only worth running if the main floor goes here too — per industry guidance, full high-gloss polished concrete progresses through 800 → 1500 → 3000 grit. If the main floor finishes at 800 or 1500 grit, the detail areas should match — running 3000 grit on edges when the main floor stops at 1500 creates a visible gloss mismatch under raking light. The 3000-grit pad is also unnecessary if a sealer or guard is being applied; most sealers require stopping at 800 grit for adhesion.
