9. Add additional wax to the Polishing Pad as needed.
To add additional wax:
a. Stop the tool and allow the tool to
come to a complete stop.
b. Add a small amount of wax evenly
over the pad surface.
c. Avoid using too much wax. For additional
applications of wax to Foam Pad, reduce the
amount of wax. The Foam Pad will not absorb
as much wax in subsequent applications.
d. Resume operation.
Note: The most common error when waxing/polishing
a vehicle is applying too much wax. If the Foam
Pad becomes saturated with wax, applying wax will
be more difficult and will take longer. Applying too
much wax may also reduce the life of the Foam Pad.
If the Foam Pad continually comes off the Backing Pad
during use, too much wax may have been applied.
10. After the wax has been applied to the
vehicle's surface, turn off the tool.
Unplug the Power Cord from the extension cord.
11. Remove the Foam Pad from the Backing Pad and
with your hand and the Foam Pad, apply wax to
any hard-to-reach areas of the vehicle such as
around lights, door handles, under bumpers, etc.
12. Allow sufficient time for the wax to dry.
13. Replace the Foam Pad and place a
clean Polishing Bonnet (sold separately)
securely onto the Foam Pad.
cAUTION! Tightly pull the string to secure the
Polishing Bonnet. Secure the string and keep
it out of the way by tying several knots.
cAUTION! Start and stop the tool only while it
is held firmly against the surface of the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in the Bonnet
being thrown from the Backing Pad.
14. Start the tool and begin buffing off the dried wax.
15. When as much wax as possible has been removed
with the tool, turn off the tool. Unplug the tool.
16. WARNING! Allow the tool to come to a
complete stop before setting it down.
17. Remove the Polishing Bonnet from Foam Pad.
Using the Polishing Bonnet, remove the wax
from all hard-to-reach areas of the vehicle.
18. Clean, then store the tool indoors
out of children's reach.
