Buffing and Polishing

NOTICE: You should use utmost care when power
polishing around or over sharp objects and
contours of the car body. It is very important to use
the correct pressure while polishing various sections
of an automobile body. For example, light pressure
should be applied when polishing over sharp edges
of body panels, or over edges of the rain gutter along
the top.
1. Wait until wax has dried to an even haze on vehicle.
2. Place extension cord over your shoulder.
3. Turn buffer/polisher ON.
iMPORTAnT: DO NOT apply excessive pressure against
the work surface with this tool. The random orbital motion
feature on this tool will perform better when less pressure
is applied. Appling excessive pressure will slow the random
orbital motion and reduce the effectiveness of the tool.

nOTE: For best results, use long, sweeping strokes in a
criss-cross pattern when removing wax.
4. Buff and polish the entire surface until all dried wax is
removed. Remove the bonnet from time to time and
shake out the dried wax residue. A bonnet with excess
residue will cause streaking. You may need to replace
the bonnet with a new one if you can't get it clean
enough to avoid streaking.
Vehicle Care Tips
• Wash and polish the vehicle 3 to 4 times a year to help
ensure paint protection.
• Wash the vehicle at least every 2 weeks with a vehicle
wash solution which will not harm the finish or strip the
wax. AVOID washing with household detergents.
• Wash with a clean sponge and dry with a terry cloth
towel to help prevent dirt from scratching the paint.
Start on the top and work down.
• Remove bugs, bird droppings, tree sap and tar from the
vehicle's surface on a daily basis.
• ALWAYS make sure that the vehicle's surface is cool
before washing.
• Avoid parking near sprinklers, because water spots are
difficult to remove.
• ALWAYS keep glass cleaner chemicals away from
painted surfaces. Spray the cleaner onto a towel, NOT
directly on the windows.
