Product Description
Milwaukee 3 in. Yellow Foam Polishing Pad — Single
Model Number: 49-36-2790
The Milwaukee 49-36-2790 is a single 3 in. Yellow Foam Polishing Pad for the Milwaukee M12 Cordless Polisher/Sander — an individual replacement pad of the mid-stage polishing grade for the polishing phase of multi-step automotive paint correction and detailing work on the compact M12 platform. The yellow foam polishing pad occupies the intermediate stage between heavy cutting pads and the soft finishing pad in professional polishing progressions — following more aggressive correction work with cutting pads, the yellow foam refines and smooths the surface, removing the swirl marks and micro-scratches left by the cutting stage while preparing the surface for the final finishing pass with a black foam pad and finishing polish. In professional detailing practice, yellow typically designates medium-cut polishing foam matched to medium compounds for progressive surface refinement.
The single pad format is appropriate for occasional polishing use, small-area correction work, and emergency pad replacement when the working polishing pad loads beyond its productive effectiveness mid-job and a fresh pad is needed to complete the correction stage. Having a replacement pad on hand prevents the disruption of stopping mid-polishing to source a fresh pad when the working pad stops cutting consistently. The 3 in. diameter matches the Milwaukee M12 Polisher/Sander's backing plate for correct pad coverage and speed distribution. For production polishing work across multiple vehicles, the 5-pack (49-36-5790) provides better per-pad economics and multi-pad rotation supply.
